A group of 108 patients who had a curettage for post-menopausal bleeding had a cytologic investigation with the Gravlee jet-washer prior to the curettage. 79 jet-washes (73.1%) were cytologically negative, nine (8.3%) were positive, two (1.8%) were false negative. False positive cytology did not occur. In 18 cases (16.6%) the material was insufficient for cytology. The accuracy of the jet-washings was 82%.
