A device usable by a patient to self-obtain a stool sample particularly for use in testing for gastro-intestinal bleeding. The device is a multi-layered package (2) the patient can use in privacy, in the same manner as toilet tissue to obtain the stool sample after defecation. Excess stool sample is discarded in the toilet by peeling off one (4) of the layers having an opening (6) therein, leaving an apropriate amount of the stool sample retained on a pad (10) located beneath the opening (6). The remaining portion of the package is then sealed and returned to the physician or testing laboratory hermetically sealed. The seal (20) is broken, the test is performed, and then the package is resealed hermetically and discarded. |
