I would not normally promote a product but I have seen the TissueSafe and
SealSafe (Milestone) in use at a couple of hospitals for formalin management in
the OR and in the lab and was most impressed.

Hi Nancy,
All routine specimens in our hospital are placed in formalin in the OR.
Breast lumps and mastectomy specimens are sent up fresh so that they arrive
STAT (to minimize cold ischemic times) and lymph nodes for lymphoma
protocol are also sent up fresh. [*they actually send sentinel nodes up

Hello-
I would appreciate input on how you are getting formalin on to the specimens:
* Is it done in OR
* Are specimens brough to pathology and add formalin there
* If so - does lab or OR add the formalin
* Other?
Are you Joint Commission?
Thank you!
