Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the fields of medicine and biotechnology, and in particular to a pathological specimen sealing wax component. Background Art

[0002] After surgery, tissue removed from the patient undergoes processes such as fixation, dehydration, paraffin embedding, sectioning, and staining to produce paraffin blocks and sections for subsequent laboratory testing, including H&E staining, immunohistochemistry, cytology, and molecular diagnostics. Finally, a pathologist reviews the sections under a microscope to produce a complete pathology report. After all these procedures are completed, the used paraffin blocks must be sealed with wax to isolate them from air, ensuring they can be stored in the pathology department for at least 15 years, as required by national regulations. Conventional wax sealing involves manually placing the pathology specimen cassette into a paraffin bath for sealing. Because this is a separate operation, each step can take over five seconds. Consequently, when dealing with the daily task of sealing thousands of paraffin blocks, this single manual process consumes a significant amount of medical staff's time. Furthermore, the resulting wax film is uneven, which not only lacks aesthetic appeal but also compromises overall preservation. Furthermore, to maintain the paraffin wax in a liquid state, the extremely high wax temperature can easily burn the operator, adversely affecting their health.

[0003] Therefore, pathology technicians in this field are committed to developing a pathology specimen wax sealing component that improves the efficiency of pathology paraffin sealing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a pathology specimen wax sealing component which improves the efficiency of pathology paraffin sealing.

[0006] Furthermore, a marking plate is provided on the top of the pathology specimen embedding box.

[0007] Furthermore, the handle is an angle iron, and the bottom of the angle iron is welded to the bottom of the porous operating plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the thickness of the porous operation plate is smaller than the thickness of the pathological paraffin block.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross section of the pathology paraffin block fixing port is square, and an axially penetrating paraffin liquid guide port is further provided at the inner corner of the pathology paraffin block fixing port.

[0010] Furthermore, the porous operating plate is made of stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0011] Furthermore, the tissue pathology specimen embedding box is made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0012] Furthermore, the area of ​​the pathology paraffin block is smaller than the area of ​​the bottom of the pathology specimen embedding box.

[0013] Furthermore, an anti-slip strip is pasted on the bottom edge of the pathology specimen embedding box.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the pathological specimen wax sealing assembly of the present invention comprises a tissue pathological specimen embedding cassette, the bottom of the pathological specimen embedding cassette is hollowed out, a pathological paraffin block is also attached to the bottom of the pathological specimen embedding cassette, and a porous operation plate for carrying a plurality of the pathological specimen embedding cassettes, the porous operation plate is provided with a plurality of pathological paraffin block fixing openings extending therethrough, the pathological paraffin block is embedded in and axially penetrates the pathological paraffin block fixing openings, and both sides of the porous operation plate are provided with upwardly extending handles.

[0019] Example 1, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a pathological specimen wax sealing assembly includes a tissue pathology specimen embedding cassette 1, the bottom of which is hollowed out, and a pathology paraffin block is affixed to the bottom of the pathology specimen embedding cassette 1. It also includes a porous operating plate 2 for supporting multiple pathology specimen embedding cassettes 1. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with a plurality of pathology paraffin block fixing openings 3 extending therethrough, into which the pathology paraffin block is inserted and axially penetrates. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with upwardly extending handles 6 on both sides. After the pathology tissue is sliced, the pathology specimen embedding cassettes containing human tissue can be placed on the pathology paraffin block fixing openings in a predetermined order. The handles are then lifted to simultaneously immerse the pathology specimen embedding cassettes and the porous operating plate in a high-temperature paraffin solution. The handles are then lifted and the pathology specimen embedding cassettes are removed separately, thereby completing the paraffin sealing of multiple pathology specimens at once. The wax sealing work completed by this device ultimately produces a uniform and beautiful wax film. Compared to the previous manual wax sealing procedure of each specimen individually, this device simplifies the process, improves the efficiency of wax sealing for pathological specimens, and significantly enhances the integrity and aesthetics of the wax seal, significantly reducing the burden and time required for medical staff. Furthermore, this device prevents direct contact between medical staff and high-temperature paraffin wax, significantly improving overall safety and comfort.

[0020] A marking plate 5 is provided on the top of the pathological specimen embedding box 1 , on which corresponding physiological tissue marks can be marked with a marking pen to facilitate the distinction between different physiological tissues.

[0021] In this embodiment, the handle 6 is an angle iron, and the bottom of the angle iron is welded to the bottom of the porous operating plate 2 .

[0022] Example 2, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a pathological specimen wax sealing assembly includes a tissue pathology specimen embedding cassette 1, the bottom of which is hollowed out, and a pathology paraffin block is affixed to the bottom of the pathology specimen embedding cassette 1. It also includes a porous operating plate 2 for supporting multiple pathology specimen embedding cassettes 1. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with a plurality of pathology paraffin block fixing openings 3 extending therethrough, into which the pathology paraffin block is inserted and axially penetrates. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with upwardly extending handles 6 on both sides. After the pathology tissue is sliced, the pathology specimen embedding cassettes containing human tissue can be placed on the pathology paraffin block fixing openings in a predetermined order. The handles are then lifted to simultaneously immerse the pathology specimen embedding cassettes and the porous operating plate in a high-temperature paraffin solution. The handles are then lifted and the pathology specimen embedding cassettes are removed separately, thereby completing the paraffin sealing of multiple pathology specimens at once. The wax sealing work completed by this device ultimately produces a uniform and beautiful wax film. Compared to the previous manual wax sealing procedure of each specimen individually, this device simplifies the process, improves the efficiency of wax sealing for pathological specimens, and significantly enhances the integrity and aesthetics of the wax seal, significantly reducing the burden and time required for medical staff. Furthermore, this device prevents direct contact between medical staff and high-temperature paraffin wax, significantly improving overall safety and comfort.

[0023] The thickness of the porous operating plate 2 is smaller than that of the pathological paraffin block, ensuring that the pathological paraffin block is lower than the bottom surface of the porous operating plate 2, thereby avoiding the situation where the bottom of the porous operating plate 2 contacts the high-temperature paraffin liquid while the pathological paraffin block has not yet contacted it during wax sealing, that is, avoiding sealing leakage.

[0024] Example 3, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a pathological specimen wax sealing assembly includes a tissue pathology specimen embedding cassette 1, the bottom of which is hollowed out, and a pathology paraffin block is affixed to the bottom of the pathology specimen embedding cassette 1. It also includes a porous operating plate 2 for supporting multiple pathology specimen embedding cassettes 1. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with a plurality of pathology paraffin block fixing openings 3 extending therethrough, into which the pathology paraffin block is inserted and axially penetrates. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with upwardly extending handles 6 on both sides. After the pathology tissue is sliced, the pathology specimen embedding cassettes containing human tissue can be placed on the pathology paraffin block fixing openings in a predetermined order. The handles are then lifted to simultaneously immerse the pathology specimen embedding cassettes and the porous operating plate in a high-temperature paraffin solution. The handles are then lifted and the pathology specimen embedding cassettes are removed separately, thereby completing the paraffin sealing of multiple pathology specimens at once.

Furthermore, this device prevents direct contact between medical staff and high-temperature paraffin wax, significantly improving overall safety and comfort.

[0025] The cross-section of the pathological paraffin block fixing port 3 is square, and an axially penetrating paraffin liquid diversion port 7 is also provided at the inner corner of the pathological paraffin block fixing port 3. When the paraffin liquid is immersed in the top of the porous operating plate 2, the excess paraffin liquid will flow down from the paraffin liquid diversion port 7 after the porous operating plate 2 is lifted, thereby preventing the paraffin liquid from remaining on the porous operating plate 2.

[0026] Example 4, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a pathological specimen wax sealing assembly includes a tissue pathology specimen embedding cassette 1, the bottom of which is hollowed out, and a pathology paraffin block is affixed to the bottom of the pathology specimen embedding cassette 1. It also includes a porous operating plate 2 for supporting multiple pathology specimen embedding cassettes 1. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with a plurality of pathology paraffin block fixing openings 3 extending therethrough, into which the pathology paraffin block is inserted and axially penetrates. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with upwardly extending handles 6 on both sides. After the pathology tissue is sliced, the pathology specimen embedding cassettes containing human tissue can be placed on the pathology paraffin block fixing openings in a predetermined order. The handles are then lifted to simultaneously immerse the pathology specimen embedding cassettes and the porous operating plate in a high-temperature paraffin solution. The handles are then lifted and the pathology specimen embedding cassettes are removed separately, thereby completing the paraffin sealing of multiple pathology specimens at once.

Furthermore, this device prevents direct contact between medical staff and high-temperature paraffin wax, significantly improving overall safety and comfort.

[0027] In order to avoid paraffin liquid from remaining on the porous operation plate 2, the porous operation plate 2 is made of stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene; in order to avoid paraffin liquid from remaining on the tissue pathology specimen embedding box 1, and to ensure that the specimen is as light as possible, convenient for access and later storage, the tissue pathology specimen embedding box 1 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0028] Example 5, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, a pathological specimen wax sealing assembly includes a tissue pathology specimen embedding cassette 1, the bottom of which is hollowed out, and a pathology paraffin block is affixed to the bottom of the pathology specimen embedding cassette 1. It also includes a porous operating plate 2 for supporting multiple pathology specimen embedding cassettes 1. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with a plurality of pathology paraffin block fixing openings 3 extending therethrough, into which the pathology paraffin block is inserted and axially penetrates. The porous operating plate 2 is provided with upwardly extending handles 6 on both sides. After the pathology tissue is sliced, the pathology specimen embedding cassettes containing human tissue can be placed on the pathology paraffin block fixing openings in a predetermined order. The handles are then lifted to simultaneously immerse the pathology specimen embedding cassettes and the porous operating plate in a high-temperature paraffin solution.

Furthermore, this device prevents direct contact between medical staff and high-temperature paraffin wax, significantly improving overall safety and comfort.

[0029] The area of ​​the pathological paraffin block is smaller than the area of ​​the bottom of the pathological specimen embedding cassette 1. An anti-slip strip 4 is pasted on the bottom edge of the pathological specimen embedding cassette 1. In this way, through the limitation between the pathological paraffin block and the pathological paraffin block fixing port 3, and the anti-slip effect between the anti-slip strip 4 and the top of the porous operating plate 2, the pathological specimen embedding cassette 1 will not shake at will during the wax sealing operation, thereby ensuring the wax sealing effect.
