    During pap test my doctor use wooden spatula rather than brush?
    Wooden spatula is effective or brush method is effective for pap?

    I guess I'm not understanding you. Yes there are different instruments used to take a sample of the cervix in order to conduct a Pap smear.

    A wooden spatula is hardly hygienic. I cant imagine a doctor using a wooden spatula or a brush to take a pap smear.

    I think the OP is going to try and turn this thread into a merry go round again.

    Okay here goes. The spatula looks nothing like a kitchen spatula and is not wooden, it is disposable plastic.

    The brush is called cytobrush, also plastic and nylon and disposable, looks nothing like a brush.

    Both items can be googled, with pictures.
