7. For histologic assessment of the specimen, the tip of the sheath should
now be sectioned just proximal to its distal curette opening (Figure 4).
The piston should then be advanced within the sheath to express the
specimen from the sectioned sheath into an appropriate transport medium
(Figure 5).

8. For bacterial culturing of the specimen, leave the piston in its fully
withdrawn position and do not section the sheath at its distal curette
opening. Immediately send the entire, intact instrument with the specimen
captured within it to the laboratory with instructions to section the distal tip
at a point at least 2 mm proximal to the distal curette opening and then to
express the sample by use of the piston onto the appropriate culturing
medium. Alternatively, immediately following biopsy, section the sheath
just proximal to the distal curette opening *- then, by advancing the piston,
express the sample onto appropriate medium in a transport container and
send it to the laboratory for culturing.
