2 View Specimen Container - Easy Orthogonal View
(12 containers per box)

Surgeons and Radiologists can get the orthoganal views you want without risk of specimen damage. Your specimen travels from the OR to Imaging to Pathology untouched.

2 View is a container designed specifically to expedite specimen mammography of breast tissue removed at wire-localized excision or partial mastectomy. The 2View allows radiologic viewing while retaining the position of the specimen without excessive compression and allows for two orthogonal views without any operator manipulation of the specimen itself. You know the story. The specimen is carefully removed and placed in a container for imaging. The imaging technologist compresses your specimen, potentially fracturing the margins before the specimen gets to pathology. Or imaging can only get a single view and tries to determine from that image that the area of interest is not too close to the top or bottom of the specimen, which could result in re-excision. Or the technologist experiences difficulty in rotating the specimen 90 degrees to get a second, orthogonal view. The manipulation by the technologist can again fracture the margins. And the ability to get a second view at exactly 90 degrees is highly operator dependent. Either way, the surgeon closes the patient without the greatest confidence that pathology will report "clear margins". With a 2View, the surgeon oversees placement of the specimen in the container and directs the OR staff to apply just enough retention pressure to hold the specimen in place without distortion. The container can be used for transport and imaging, and can supply orthogonal views. There is no need to open the 2View, nor to compress or manipulate the specimen. The specimen remains untouched until it is removed from the container in Pathology. 2View specimen containers can provide surgeons with better information than other container types when performing excisional biopsies or partial mastectomies.
