My question is this. Who will open the cassette and dictate the specimen and what if the specimen does not make it thru processing? Who is responsible then for it missing?

We've had a problem with small biopsies dissolving/disappearing in telfa pads. We can't seem to find a cassette that the manufacture approves to be sterilized. I have a sample of a metal biopsy cassette, but the lid closure is questionable. I'm having trouble thinking "out of the box" on this problem. I've never had an OR request this before. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
