Abstract
A disposable brush which allows the pleura to be abraded using pleuroscopy and allows surgeons to adjust the stiffness of the brush and the area to be abraded during the abrasion process includes a longitudinal body which supports rigid bristles and slides within a tubular member that is secured to a handle. A manually actuated slide is connected to the longitudinal body and is movable within a longitudinal lumen of the handle and cooperates with an indexing component supported on the edges of the lumen. Furthermore, the rigid bristles have elastically deformable cambers with different radii of curvature so as to form a flat fan-shaped brush in the deployed operating position outside the tubular member. The bristles of the brush extend laterally from the longitudinal axis.
