title: Endocervical strip biopsy instrument: an alternative to endocervical curettage.
abstract: The endocervical strip biopsy instrument obtains strips of endocervical epithelium with attached cervical stroma without excessive bleeding or discomfort to the patient. The intact specimen allows a precise histologic evaluation of endocervical disease processes in patients with abnormal cervical cytology or endometrial adenocarcinoma.
