ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for recording the source and orientation of biopsy samples typically taken with a multiple biopsy sample instrument. The apparatus includes a multiple compartment fixative cup and a multiple copy record keeping label form. The fixative cup is preferably cylindrical and has several compartments defined by sector walls as well as by concentric cylindrical walls. The multiple copy record keeping label form preferably includes a circular label with indicia corresponding to the sector walls of the fixative cup and at least one carbon or carbonless copy form. The preferred method of the invention includes the steps of obtaining biopsy samples and marking the corresponding location on the label form with an indication of order. After the several biopsy samples have been taken, and their locations marked on the label form, the biopsy samples are removed from the body and placed in order in the appropriate compartments in the fixative cup. The cup is then covered and the label is removed from the label form and applied to the fixative cup. The carbon or carbonless copy of the label is placed in the chart or file of the patient.
