We use hair wrapping paper used for perms. It is the same paper called "biopsy wraps," but at a significant price reduction. You can buy a variety of sizes and the wraps do not cause artifacts and are porous enough for ample solution penetration. Biopsy paper comes in blue and other colors, but the hair wraps only come in white. Our overall experience with them has been great.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Subject: [Histonet] Tissue processing question

Hello all,

 I was wondering what everyone uses to secure biopsy and scant tissues through processing. Also what would you recommend placing breast cores in for processing. Having an argument with grossing staff and pathologist about whether to use sponges, tissue paper, or something else. Looking for the best option that will allow for reagents to penetrate tissue and not leave any artifact
