PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cell sampling tool for an endoscope allowing enlargement of the inner diameter of a brush storing part than a prior art and sampling of many cells. SOLUTION: The cell sampling tool 100 for the endoscope comprises an operation member 30 having a wire 10 and brush bristles 20, an outer jacket tube 40, and a storing member 50. The storing member 50 is mounted to the tip of the outer jacket tube 40. In an inserting state of the operation member 30 into the outer jacket tube 40, the large diameter part 52 of the storing member 50 is structured so as to insert or remove the entire brush bristles 20. The storing member 50 is formed so as to have plastic deformation resistance larger than the outer jacket tube 40. Material forming the storing member 50 has elasticity allowing insertion into a bent clamp channel of the endoscope. |
