Advantages of Milex ECC vs. Metal Curette:¹

• Less painful
• Does not compromise quality or quantity of tissue sample
• Less bleeding
• Improved patient compliance
• Metal instruments dull with usage, increasing pain to patient and excessive bleeding
• Syringe holds specimen in narrow lumen of curette, reducing the deterioration of the specimen and time spent locating tissue sample in the vaginal vault.

Limitations:

• For diagnosis of endocervical pathology only
• Preferable not to do ECC immediately preceding a cone biopsy (may prevent an accurate assessment of the cone-tipped margin²)

Contraindications:

Pregnancy - The presence of any vaginal, cervical, and/or pelvic infection(s). Infections must be treated prior to any endocervical curettage or biopsy.
