An option for handling [Histonet] Re: Bone flap from skull

[Gayle Callis]

There are bone banks for this purpose, and should be able to advise 
laboratories how to handle the bone after collection.  The bone bank itself 
might have to be involved.

Holy cow!!!  The other response about telling a court that some people on 
line told you how to handle it is bad bad bad.  Let the pathologists deal 
with it - do not get involved!  Run!


A neurosurgeon just brought a bone flap from a patient and wants to
replace it 3-4 days from now...

Do any of you have suggestions or recommendations for storing the bone
flap in the lab until he needs it again???



Need help fast!



Thanks!
