[Histonet] specimens from surgery

[Weems, Joyce]

We supply the ORs with a variety of formalin filled containers from 120 ml to 170 ml. If the specimen is too large to fit the largest size, it is brought over fresh.

Subject: [Histonet] specimens from surgery


The surgery department we work with is stating that the bags
(manufacturer Bitran) are leaking in the surgery suites and that the
staff cannot deal with the leaks and the smell.  They would like to
deliver all specimens fresh.  

My question is; how are those of you that receive specimens in a
hospital from surgery receiving them.  

 

Thank you
