| 20110172557 | FRICTIONAL TRANS-EPITHELIAL TISSUE DISRUPTION COLLECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INDUCING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE - In an embodiment of the invention, a frictional tissue sampling device with a head designed to be rotated without rotating off the designated site can be used to obtain tissue biopsy samples. A frictional tissue sampling device with a head designed to be rotated without rotating off the designated site can be used to obtain an epithelial tissue biopsy sample from lesions. The device can be otherwise used to sample specific locations. In various embodiments, the head of the device is narrow and pointed with a hybrid pear shaped diamond facet. Abrasive material can be adhered to the facet. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20100210968 | FRICTIONAL TRANS-EPITHELIAL TISSUE DISRUPTION AND COLLECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INDUCING AND/OR AUGMENTING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE - The invention relates to trans-epithelial frictionally abrasive tissue sampling devices for performing biopsies and methods of inducing an immune response against a pathogen, wherein epithelial cells containing the pathogen are disrupted with the frictionally abrasive tissue sampling device to introduce the pathogen into the bloodstream of a patient. | 08-19-2010 |
