[Histonet] Question - OR specimens to Pathology

[Richard Cartun]

How are other hospitals transporting "fresh" tissue specimens from operating rooms to the Pathology Frozen Section room for an intraoperative consultation?  Occasionally, we get specimens delivered on "towels" and I don't think this is appropriate.  I think they should be in a container that can be sealed along with the appropriate patient identification.  Thank you.
