Background:

Endometrial cytology relies on sample quality, which varies significantly between devices.
Accurate endometrial sampling is crucial for diagnosis and patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate the IUMC Endometrial Sampler for endometrial sampling.
To assess the device's ability to obtain adequate and uncontaminated samples.

Main Methods:

The IUMC Endometrial Sampler was developed and FDA-approved.
Clinical trials and sampling tests were conducted using hysterectomy specimens.

Main Results:

The IUMC Endometrial Sampler consistently yielded adequate and representative endometrial samples.
Samples were free from contamination by endocervical and vaginal tissues.

Conclusions:

The IUMC Endometrial Sampler is effective for obtaining high-quality endometrial samples.
The device supports early detection of endometrial carcinoma, patient monitoring, and microbiologic studies.
