DescriptionThis test tube brush was used for veterinary services. The brush is long and includes both a metal and brush part. The top of the brush has a curved metal hoop that can be used as a handle. This hoop then straightens into a spiral wire rod. At the bottom 3/4 of the brush bristles and fiber are interwoven between the metal wire to jut outwards. At the very end of the brush the wire has been curved to tie around a bundle of fiber to form a broom-like end.
