US Patent:
2006022, Oct 12, 2006
Filed:
Mar 30, 2006
Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Abstract:
Tissue samples are oriented without the use of sutures, specifically using pins that can be inserted through the tissue sample or clips that can be clipped onto the outside surfaces of the tissue sample. The pins and clips are marked, either directly or indirectly, with distinct orientation direction markings such as words, symbols, or colors so that, when the pins or clips are properly inserted or attached, as the case may be, the orientation direction markings indicate the orientation of the tissue sample relative to the body from which it was removed. The orientation direction markings are typically in a form that can be interpreted at least visually, although the orientation direction markings can additionally or alternatively include tactile features. Furthermore, the orientation direction markings can be in a form that show up in x-ray or other examinations of the tissue sample.
