TissueSAFE plus is an innovative and patented vacuum system that allows the preservation of fresh tissues in their natural state, without fixative. Right after excision, specimens are placed into dedicated bags and sealed under vacuum, thus eliminating the need for formalin in the OR. TissueSAFE plus also allows traceability and documentation of the biospecimen transfer from the surgical theater to the histopathology lab. In today’s laboratories, formaldehyde is still used as the standard fixative for collecting and storing biospecimens, although it is well known for being carcinogenic (cancer causing). OR personnel risk high levels of exposure to formaldehyde fumes in their daily tasks, when handling biospecimens that need to be transferred from the surgical theater to the pathology department. TissueSAFE plus has been designed to completely remove the operator’s exposure and contact with formalin, as it allows users to collect biospecimens under vacuum, maintaining the tissue in its “as fresh” conditions. At the end of the vacuum sealing process, the TissueSAFE plus prints a label with the most relevant information (Case ID, user, date, time, etc.) for complete documentation. Moreover, a dedicated Data Logger Card can be activated at the start of the shift and then placed into the transfer box to continuously monitor and document tissue temperature and transfer time from the surgery suite to the histology lab. At accessioning, the technician can download all the relevant specimen data from the Data Logger Card, review the cases and print reports.
