Embodiment Construction

[0074]The various embodiments of the tissue cassettes, carriers, and orientation devices are particularly helpful when histopathologists are working with particularly small, delicate samples where precise orientation during histopathology processing is important. A related type of biopsy is a needle biopsy. Because needle biopsies are far less invasive than those obtained through surgery and they provide an earlier diagnosis of disease, they have become very popular in medicine today. Most diagnostic biopsies are performed using needle biopsy devices. Since the needles can be made long and thin, many body organs or pathologies can be reached through a percutaneous radiation-guided procedure. Core biopsies are routinely obtained during biopsy procedures such as prostate, cervix, liver, and thyroid. This device is configured to cut a core sample and retain it within the inner bore of a hollow metal needle. The core samples were then drained and placed in formalin for transpor...

Abstract

Tissue orientation devices include a perforated tissue support with at least one perforated channel for receiving a tissue sample, and a plurality of tabs configured to extend along and into the channel to retain the tissue sample during processing and embedding. Tissue orientation devices include elongated legs coupled together for holding one or more biopsy tissue samples therebetween. Associated methods include using the cassettes and orientation devices to hold and orient tissue samples for processing, embedding and microtome sectioning.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial Nos. 61 / 146,444 and 61 / 238,913, filed January 22, 2009, and September 1, 2009, respectively. The entire disclosures of US Provisional Patent Application Serial Nos. 61 / 146,444 and 61 / 238,913 are expressly incorporated herein by reference. This application is also related to Patent Application Serial No. 11 / 954,112 (pending), filed December 11, 2007, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to carriers for manipulating and embedding tissue samples for pathological analysis, and more particularly, to a sectionable carrier capable of receiving one or more tissue samples and being embedded in a tissue sample or sample and subsequently sectioned . Background technique [0003] To accurately diagnose various tissue diseases and conditions, medical professionals must remove one or more tissue sam...
