WHY THINPREP
The most important advantages of the ThinPrep Pap Test is that it ensures the collection of all cells of the shooting and their proper maintenance, whereas in classical Pap Test rejected the majority of the cells with the spatula and brush making.
In classical Pap Test, the simple spreading of the cells on the glass plate causes uneven coating and often difficult to assess the microscope. Instead, the ThinPrep Pap Test, offers high quality coating, resulting cytology to make accurate diagnosis.
Still, the ThinPrep Pap Test allows performing additional tests, which may be needed in the same sample without repeat visit and download.
Authoritative sources worldwide have proven that the ThinPrep Pap Test gives accurate results (over 90%) than the conventional Test Pap. To ThinPrep Pap Test is currently the most sensitive method for prevention and diagnosis of cervical lesions.
