Sponges can cause a compression artifact leaving some sort of "imprint" on the
surface of the biopsy, especially kidney and prostate Bx.I my experience tissue
paper is the best option. If you are having difficulties with the wrapping, you
can use "tea bags".René

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
