ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for the collection and handling of pathological tissue specimens during evacuative medical procedures, wherein a source of vacuum is used to draw material from a body cavity and into a collection bottle (22). In accordance with the invention, a tissue trap (21) is placed in advance of the collection bottle for filtering out and collecting tissue specimens prior to entry of the evacuated material into the collection bottle. At the end of an operative procedure, the tissue trap is removed from the system and used as a container for handling and transporting the tissue specimens, thereby avoiding the necessity of direct contact with the specimens by medical workers during the collection and transport thereof. In a preferred form of the invention, the collection bottle is disposable and includes a pour spout for emptying the contents prior to disposal of the bottle.
