Abstract
An implement is provided for in situ molding of an impression of a cervix uteri from a medical grade impression paste. In the preferred form, the implement is an impression tray with a flexible cervix uteri-receiving cup and a hollow-elongated stem which is connected to the cup for passage of impression paste into the cup. The cup is fabricated with a circumferential flange that extends radially inwardly from the annular rim of the cup. The circumferential flange provides a retainer which holds the cervix uteri in place and also resiliently seals against the exocervical surface of the cervix uteri to facilitate retention of the impression paste in the cup during in situ molding of the cervical impression.
