ABSTRACT:
A collection device and method of use for excised tissue immobilization, removal of core samples from immobilized tissue and transport of the tissue for specimen radiography and pathological analysis. The collection device is comprised of a base member having an annular bottom wall and a side wall upwardly extending from the peripheral edge of the side wall, a lid member having a top wall and a skirt circumscribing the side wall and extending downwardly therefrom, and an incremental latching mechanism for securing the lid member to the base member. The side wall of the lid member includes a plurality of apertures positioned around at least a portion of the circumference of the side wall. In use, a tissue specimen placed in the base member is immobilized by compressing the tissue between the top wall of the lid member and the bottom wall of the base member and securing the lid member and base member together with the latching mechanism. A core sample can be removed from the immobilized specimen by inserting a portion of a sampling device through an aperture. The remainder of the specimen can be transported as needed for pathological or radiographic analysis.
