Good Morning All!
I was wondering what everyone's policies were on releasing of patient tissue other than stones, placentas, and hardware.  Normally we only release stones, placentas, and hardware but have been receiving request for other types of tissues lately and was just curious as to what the norm seems to be pertaining to this issue and if you do release the tissue, how do you limit patient exposure to blood, body fluids and chemicals?
Thanks!!!
