Direct transfer of curettings to cryostat chuck in Mohs micrographic surgery.
In the routine handling of Mohs specimens the curetted first layer is integral to the process of tumor identification. Small specimens may be smeared inadvertently on filter paper or gauze or even lost between the operating room and laboratory. An efficient method for processing small curetted specimens has been devised that bypasses the use of a tissue tray. This method improves tissue morphology and saves time.
