The Coari device makes it possible for the patient herself to collect cervical-vaginal material

 

Cervical cancer is among the five most frequent malignant neoplasms in the female population, with the Human Papillomavirus responsible for more than 99.7% of cases (WHO, 2022 | INCA, 2022). Although it can be diagnosed early and effectively through the Pap test, cancer screening faces barriers such as the difficulty of access to medical care for patients living in remote regions, as well as other socio-cultural aspects.

In this sense, self-collection closes this gap and is an ally in the early identification of high-risk oncogenic types, even without apparent lesions. The self-collection device Coari* was developed with this methodology profile of easy adherence and high capacity for collecting material from the vaginal canal, being of great value in early diagnosis, from the primary detection, for example, of HPV, guaranteeing timely treatment for Cervical Intrapithelial Neoplasms (CINs).

O self-collection Coari allows the patient to collect the cervical-vaginal material herself. The procedure allows for effective health care, without embarrassment or discomfort, at your own time and in any environment where the woman’s intimacy is protected, without the need to travel to a health unit. The device is presented in individual, sterile packaging and comes with a transport tube and soft-bristled collection brush.

O Coari was the first vaginal self-collection devicedeveloped and produced in Brazil in 2015. It was named after the city of Coari, located on the banks of the Solimões River in the state of Amazonas. The reference to the city is due to the fact that, between 2013 and 2015, a pioneering study was carried out in Coari to evaluate the usefulness of self-collection of cervical-vaginal material to diagnose the presence of HPV, a virus that often causes cervical cancer. In this study, the aim was to reach women who, in essence, had extreme difficulty in accessing medical care. Therefore, for women in this condition, self-collection can represent the difference between life and death. Therein lies the great virtue of self-collection and the Coari that makes it possible.
