Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical appliances, in particular to a fixing device for identifying the embedding directionality and hierarchy of pathological tissue or cells. Background Art

[0002] Accurate processing and analysis of pathological tissue samples are the basis of pathological research and clinical diagnosis. In pathological analysis, embedding molds are commonly used and necessary devices in tissue preparation, and are used for tissue specimen processing in hospital or laboratory pathological examinations. The embedding mold usually includes a bottom mold and an embedding box. The bottom mold has a placement table, and the embedding box is used to cover the top of the placement table. When in use, place the bottom surface of the bottom mold on a cold table, inject paraffin liquid into the bottom mold, and place the tissue in the center of the bottom mold after injecting an appropriate amount of paraffin liquid. As the bottom wax liquid cools rapidly, the tissue is immediately stuck to the bottom mold and fixed. Continue to pour wax liquid until the tissue specimen is submerged, cover the embedding box flatly above the bottom mold, fill it with wax liquid, and wait for the paraffin to condense and solidify to obtain a tissue wax block. After the tissue wax block is properly trimmed, one end of the box cover is stuck on the slicer to obtain tissue slices, and then the tissue pathology image is obtained through subsequent staining.

[0003] Traditional fixation and embedding methods have some limitations. During the fixation and embedding process, pathological tissue samples are prone to sample orientation deviation, making it difficult to identify the slice direction. In addition, pathological tissue samples generally have a complex hierarchical structure, making it difficult to clearly identify the level at which the slice is located. The above situation is not conducive to the subsequent analysis of pathological tissues and affects the comprehensiveness and accuracy of pathological diagnosis. Utility Model Content

[0021] In this way, the first support plate and the second support plate respectively support the two sides of the first groove, and the structure is more stable.

[0022] Different from the prior art, the technical solution of the present application forms a hollow cone structure by setting a conical fixing piece inside the second groove and pouring paraffin liquid inside the second groove. The slices are made with a circular hollow cross section. The position of the conical fixing piece in the second groove determines the position of the circle on the slice.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment relates to a fixing device for directional and hierarchical identification of pathological tissue or cell embedding, comprising a first groove 1, a second groove 2 and a conical fixing piece 3, wherein the second groove 2 is located in the first groove 1, and the first groove 1 and the second groove 2 are used to receive pathology and / or cells; the conical fixing piece 3 is installed inside the second groove 2, one second groove 2 corresponds to one conical fixing piece 3, and the height of the conical fixing piece 3 matches the height of the second groove 2.

[0051] The entire fixing device can be made of metal, and the conical fixing part 3 can be welded to the bottom of the second groove 2. The conical fixing part 3 mainly plays a positioning role, and the conical fixing part 3 can be set on one side of the second groove 2. The bottom radius of the conical fixing part 3 cannot be too large, and needs to match the specifications of the second groove 2. If the bottom surface coverage of the conical fixing part 3 is too large, the circular area on the lower slice will be too large, and the direction of the slice cannot be accurately identified.

[0052] When in use, the entire fixture is placed on a cold table, and an appropriate amount of paraffin liquid is injected into the first groove 1 and the second groove 2, and the tissue is placed in the second groove 2. As the paraffin liquid cools, the tissue is fixed inside the second groove 2, and the paraffin liquid is continued to be poured until the tissue specimen is submerged. The conical fixture 3 forms a hollow cone structure inside the solidified tissue wax block in the second groove 2. After the tissue wax block is properly trimmed, it is sliced, and a circular hollow is displayed on the slice. When observing the slice, the staff can judge the direction of the slice according to the position of the circular hollow, and identify the level of the slice inside the tissue wax block according to the size of the circular hollow.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the conical fixing member 3 is located on the left side of the second groove 2 .

[0054] In this way, the paraffin liquid is poured into the second groove 2, forming a hollow cone structure on the left side of the second groove 2. The slices manufactured in this way have a circular hollow of the cone, and according to the position of the circle, it is convenient for the staff to quickly identify the left part of the slice.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, a triangular prism fixing piece 6 is further provided inside the second groove 2, one second groove 2 corresponds to one triangular prism fixing piece 6, the triangular prism fixing piece 6 is located on the right side of the second groove 2, and the height of the triangular prism fixing piece 6 matches the height of the second groove 2.

[0056] In this way, paraffin liquid is poured into the second groove 2, forming a hollow triangular prism structure on the right side of the second groove 2. The slices manufactured in this way have a triangular hollow cross-section with a triangular prism. According to the corresponding positions of the circle and the triangle, it is convenient to quickly identify the left and right parts of the slice and determine the direction of the slice.

[0057] The triangular prism fixing part 6 can be welded to the bottom of the second groove 2. The triangular prism fixing part 6 is mainly used for positioning, corresponding to the position of the conical fixing part 3, so that there is a circular hollow on the left side of the slice and a triangular hollow on the right side of the slice. The staff can quickly and accurately determine the direction of the slice according to the positions of these two shapes.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, a cylindrical fixing member 7 is provided next to the conical fixing member 3, the height of the cylindrical fixing member 7 is equal to the height of the conical fixing member 3, and the bottom area of ​​the cylindrical fixing member 7 is equal to the bottom area of ​​the conical fixing member 3.

[0059] In this way, paraffin liquid is poured into the second groove 2, forming a hollow conical structure and a cylindrical structure on the left side of the second groove 2. The same slice manufactured in this way has a circular hollow of a cone and a circular hollow of a cylinder. The cross-section formed by the cone inside the device is presented on different slices. The circular area gradually decreases from the upper slice to the lower slice, while the circular cross-section formed by the cylinder is completely equal on different slices. By comparing the areas of the conical cross-section and the cylindrical cross-section, the staff can quickly and accurately identify the level of the slice.

[0060] The cylindrical fixing member 7 can be welded to the bottom of the second groove 2. The cylindrical fixing member 7 is mainly used to assist in identifying the level of the slice. The bottom surface of the cylindrical fixing member 7 and the bottom surface of the conical section have equal areas, which makes the slice present two circular hollows. Only the bottom slice presents two circles of equal size. The higher the slice, the greater the difference in the circular area. The staff can easily identify the location of the slice based on the comparison of the circular sizes. When it is found that the area of ​​one circle is half of the area of ​​another circle, it means that the slice is in the middle layer. Taking this as a benchmark, the larger the area difference, the higher the level of the slice, and the smaller the area difference, the lower the level of the slice.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the second groove 2 is located at the center of the first groove 1 .

[0062] In this way, the paraffin liquid in all directions in the first groove 1 can flow to the central second groove 2.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the cross-section of the first groove 1 is a rectangle, and the four corners of the rectangle are rounded.

[0064] In this way, it is easy to process and produce regular rectangular tissue wax blocks.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the upper cross-section 21 and the lower cross-section 22 of the second groove 2 are both rectangular, the four corners of the rectangle are rounded, and the area of ​​the upper cross-section 21 is larger than that of the lower cross-section 22 .

[0066] In this way, the edge area of ​​the second groove 2 forms a gentle slope, which facilitates the paraffin liquid to slowly flow into the bottom along the edge of the second groove 2, thereby enhancing the buffering capacity of the placement area to receive the liquid and preventing a large amount of liquid from splashing out.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the fixture device further includes a first side plate 4 and a second side plate 5 , wherein the first side plate 4 is connected to the upper side of the first groove 1 , and the second side plate 5 is connected to the lower side of the first groove 1 .

[0068] In this way, the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 limit the flow of the paraffin liquid, which is convenient for the rapid molding of the paraffin liquid, and at the same time, it is convenient for the staff to move the fixing device by contacting the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 .

[0069] The first side plate 4 is perpendicular to the upper side of the first groove 1, and the second side plate 5 is perpendicular to the lower side of the first groove 1. The cross-sections of the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 can be trapezoidal, and the trapezoid has a certain height to facilitate the staff to grasp the outer side of the groove.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the fixture device further includes a first support plate 8 and a second support plate 9 , wherein the first support plate 8 is connected to the left side of the first groove 1 , and the second support plate 9 is connected to the right side of the first groove 1 .

[0071] In this way, the first support plate 8 and the second support plate 9 respectively support the two sides of the first groove 1, and the structure is more stable.

[0072] The distances between the first support plate 8 and the second support plate 9 and the cold stage are matched with the depths of the first groove 1 and the second groove 2 , so that the support plates can support both sides of the first groove 1 .

[0073] Different from the prior art, the technical solution of the present application forms a hollow cone structure by setting a cone fixing member 3 inside the second groove 2, and injecting paraffin liquid inside the second groove 2, so that the slices are made with a circular cross-section. The position of the cone fixing member 3 in the second groove 2 determines the position of the circle on the slice, and the staff can quickly determine the direction of the slice according to the position of the circle. At the same time, the cone structure makes the circular radius of the slice gradually decrease from top to bottom, and the level of the slice can be determined according to the size of the circular area of ​​the slice.
