[Histonet] specimen submission pads

Biopsy wraps or http://www.amazon.com/Graham-Jumbo-Papers-Perms-1000ct/dp/B001J9R93W

Either of these items can be wrapped to form an envelope preventing the tissue from floating around.

Hi Histonetters,
We are having trouble in the Gross room,  removing small specimens from the pads/gauze that OR personnel put them on which they then immerse in formalin.  We thought the gauze was challenging to remove tiny specimens from but have found that the Telfa pads the OR is now using come apart in the fixative and are even more challenging to work with. The GI lab uses sponges but they would be too small for the usual size containers the OR send us.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Linda M
