According to CytoCore, the SoftPAP cervical cell collector offers quicker, more accurate specimen collection with minimal possibility of user error. It is designed to consistently sample the entire cervix in a single-step using an inflatable balloon collector.
Robert McCullough, Jr, CEO of CytoCore, said: This agreement with Synermed allows CytoCore to offer physicians and laboratories the Synermed Preservative with our SoftPAP cervical cell collector in one convenient, cost-effective package. We believe the combination of SoftPAP and the Synermed products provide tremendous benefit to women patients, doctors and diagnostic laboratories. We are excited about introducing ‘the combination kit’ internationally where both products are approved.
