Abstract

A specimen collecting device (10) has an elongated foam member (15) that is circumscribed by a hollow tubular member (12) along a portion of its longitudinal axis. The hollow tubular member (12) has a cross-sectional area less than the uncompressed cross-sectional area of the foam member (15) so that the foam member (15) is compressed along the circumscribed portion.
