[Histonet] ORIENTATION OF ENDOSCOPIC BIOPSIES

[Walzer Susan]

I was under the impression that most biopsies done with this procedure
were like skin shave bx's, that is that they are disc shaped usually and
need to be embedded on end in order to see all layers of mucosa. Often
they come in all shapes and we do the best we can.

Hi
 
Does anyone have any suggetions (other than eosin in the processor) to
assist in have the endoscopic biopsies orientated on the proper plane
when embedded.  I feel we have too high of a percentage that are not
getting embedded properly.
