Disposable Sterile Flocked Cervical Swab

MFS-95000GJJ-A Cervical Swabs are used to collect cells from the cervix of a woman for further testing to detect cervical cancer, chlamydia, and gonorrhoea. It utilizes state of the art “spray on technology” that the flocking process by means of an electro-static charge perpendicularly attaches millions of nylon microfibers on the medical grade handle tip. The swabs also feature a molded break point that allows you to safely and easily break off the swabstick, and several break point options are available for different tubes.

Features

The product is ergonomically and anatomically designed to improve patient comfort and specimen collection.

Flocked swabs efficiently complete sample collection and elution, and reduce fiber residue in the vagina.

The thin swab handle reduces patient discomfort when collecting vaginal samples.

A break point helps you to easily break the cervical swab and store the swab tip in the storage tube.

Biggest item in my collection I’ve personally preserved. I used ethanol alcohol and injections before allowing it to soak for a month. I’m quite happy with the positioning and the jar! This is the fawn fetus of my most recent taxidermy doe from my previous post.

I love how whenever Cub is in the vicinity of any kind of debate or disagreement he will eventually start jumping from side to side to yes-and every point the people involved are making. Not committed to any person or opinion, just to 1) The Bit and 2) the drama~~~

De Vinne Ornamented Types

We return once again to Types of the De Vinne Press, published in New York by the De Vinne Press in 1907, this time to highlight some of the ornamented types offered by the press. It's wise to heed the warning that the incorrect use of ornamented type can sometimes be

An example of bad taste in superfluous ornamentation Printed work spoiled by needless ornamentation Fantastical ornament is disliked Simplicity most important.

You've been warned.

Fluorite from the Naughty Gnome Pocket of the Diana Maria Mine in Weardale, England

This fluorite is daylight fluorescent, meaning it changes color in sunlight! It is a lovely emerald green in indoor lighting and parts of it turn blue in the sun ☀️

Finally got the last of the fawn remains put together. Time for other projects! Cause I am sure burned out!

This fawn was a challenge from the start. @bigolbuzzard was the one to find it, her intentions are to taxidermy them and she very kindly gifted me the skeleton to articulate. The poor thing was hit by a car, it’s head was ruined. But fortunately, or unfortunately, I had found my own deceased fawn months prior, and I had kept its head.

In taxidermy, it’s common you keep the feet bones- so I also had to find a replacement for the feet(which are mummified). Luckily a kind soul on Reddit sent me the feet of a roadkill fawn they ran into and were pelting.

Once I had managed to clean the bones- I had to spend hours just gluing the skull/destroyed bones/and caps on the bones back together. When an animal is younger, the bones aren’t fused- so they fall apart when cleaned.

Anyway. I am going to call this skeleton “Frank” due to the fact I had to “Frankenstein” all the fawn pieces together. I know it’s not perfect, but I am proud with the end result! Off to the Nature Center they go for display!
