Methods and devices to be used in connection with collection and analyzing of blood. A device which is capable of receiving and holding blood is introduced into the interior of a body cavity where blood is present, and after the device remains in the body cavity for a time sufficient to receive and hold blood, the device is removed and at least part of the blood removed therewith is tested. The device includes an outer holder formed with an entrance through which blood may flow freely into the interior of the holder, and within the holder is a structure such as a body of filamentary material capable of retaining blood in the interior of the holder. This device may be incorporated into a tampon introduced into the vagina for collecting blood during the menstrual cycle. |
