Abstract:
The present disclosure includes a sampling device for collecting a sample from a target surface, the sample device including a handle, a body extending from the handle, and a mechanical force feedback mechanism. The mechanical force feedback mechanism is configured to change an orientation of the body relative to the handle when force is applied to a target surface by the sampling device.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of using a mechanical force feedback sampling device, said method comprising:\n grasping a handle of a sampling device; applying a force against a target surface using the sampling device; increasing the applied force to a threshold amount of force such that a mechanical force feedback mechanism induces a change in the orientation of the sampling device; and collecting a sample.
