Description

A pathological tissue embedding cassette Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a pathological tissue embedding box. Background Technology

[0002] An embedding machine, also known as a biological tissue embedding machine or paraffin embedding machine, is a medical device used to embed human or animal specimens in paraffin after dehydration and paraffin impregnation, so that the tissue can be sectioned for histological diagnosis or research. The principle is to place the biological tissue block in molten paraffin, fix it with paraffin, and then use a microtome to cut the tissue into thin sections for research.

[0003] In the pathological diagnosis process, pathological tissues need to undergo a series of processing steps such as dehydration, clearing, paraffin infiltration, and embedding. After dehydration, the tissues need to be transferred to different containers multiple times for further processing. This process has many problems. For example, each transfer may cause mechanical damage to the tissues, resulting in deformation, breakage, etc., which seriously affects the accuracy of pathological diagnosis. Frequent transfer operations are cumbersome, consume a lot of time and manpower, and reduce work efficiency. At the same time, the cumbersome transfer process is prone to human error, such as tissue confusion or loss, which brings great trouble to pathological testing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pathological tissue embedding box.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a pathological tissue embedding box, comprising: an embedding box body, wherein an embedding groove is formed on the top surface of the embedding box body, and a through opening is formed on the top surface of the embedding box body; and an embedding assembly, wherein the embedding assembly comprises: a fixing seat, a grooved grid, a movable grid plate, and a bottom insert plate, wherein the fixing seat is fixedly connected to the top surface of the embedding box body, the grooved grid is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the fixing seat, the movable grid plate is disposed between the inner walls of the grooved grid, and the bottom insert plate is disposed on the bottom surface of the grooved grid.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the grooved fence is provided with multiple inner guide grooves.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the movable grid plate is provided with a plurality of side protrusions, and the plurality of side protrusions are respectively slidably engaged with the corresponding inner guide grooves.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom surface of the convex groove fence is provided with a bottom locking groove, and the bottom locking plate and the bottom locking groove cooperate with each other.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the embedding box has an upper printing surface, and the bottom surface of the embedding box has a lower printing surface.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom surface of the embedding box is provided with a mating groove.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a pathological tissue embedding box, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This pathological tissue embedding cassette uses lasers to print pathological tissue codes on the upper and lower printing surfaces. The pathological tissue is placed within the raised grid, and the embedding mold adheres to the back of the embedding cassette. The embedding mold and cassette are then flipped over, and a movable grid provides external force to fix the pathological tissue. Liquid paraffin can then be used for fixation, and the embedded block can be removed for subsequent sectioning, staining, and other pathological testing operations. This reduces the risk of tissue damage, as the pathological tissue completes the entire process from dehydration to embedding within the same embedding cassette. This reduces mechanical damage caused by multiple transfers in traditional processes, maximizing tissue integrity and providing samples for accurate pathological diagnosis. The integrated operation simplifies pathological tissue processing steps, reduces the time and manpower required for tissue transfer, and effectively reduces the probability of errors such as tissue confusion and loss due to human error, improving the reliability and stability of pathological test results and contributing to the improvement of the quality of pathological diagnosis.
