More Information
Summary:Device for collecting lymph nodes from fatty tissue, which includes a fenestrated sample chamber configured to receive a sample of fatty tissue having lymph nodes; a lockable gate that regulates passage of tissue out of the sample chamber longitudinally; and a pusher that moves longitudinally through the chamber. After treating a sample of resected fatty tissue with a solvent that dissolves fat, the sample is pushed through the fenestrated sample chamber, where the dissolved fat is eluted transversely through the fenestrations. Remaining lymph nodes, arteries, veins, nerves and connective tissue are packed to form a tissue block, which is sized for use with histology cassettes.
