Abstract
A stool sample collection device including a sheet of preferably foldable material which has at least three extensions formed from the sheet which meet generally at an intersection, Attachment apparatus such as a removable adhesive is located at respective ends of the extensions distal from the intersection. A cupping section is formed from the sheet generally at the intersection of the extensions. The cupping section includes at least two webbing sections: a first webbing section formed generally between a first longitudinal extension and a central or support extension and a second webbing section formed generally between the central or support extension and a second longitudinal extension. The webbing sections would preferably include fold lines to add shape and rigidity to the cupping section. The device may be used by using the attachment apparatus to attach the device to a rim of a toilet bowl so that the cupping section depends into the toilet bowl.
