The Tao brush is a medical instrument used to perform an alternative method of endometrial biopsy, for the purpose of detecting endometrial cancer.
The traditional method of endometrial biopsies uses a specialized catheter (the Pipelle) to suction away a portion of the uterine lining. The Tao brush method instead uses a small, flexible brush to gently brush the entire inside of the uterus. The Tao brush is theoretically able to gather a more complete sampling of the uterus lining, removes less tissue, and some reports suggest that it is less painful than the traditional method. The Tao brush biopsy is able to detect endometrial adenocarcinoma, which accounts for 97% of all endometrial cancers.[1]
