2View Specimen Mammography Container

• Foam Rubber Retention Pads: The pads provide enough retention for orthogonal views, but avoid the damage that can be attributed to excessive compression.
• Orthogonal Views of Surgically Removed Specimens: The unique shape of the 2View ensures 90-degree offset views are easily attained without the technologist or radiologist having to manipulate the tissue itself.
• Sized to Fit Mammography Units: The 2View is designed to fit in any standard mammography unit or specimen radiology device.
• Eliminates exposure to bodily fluids: Since the device need not be opened until it arrives in pathology, there is no exposure to tissue samples or bodily fluids in the imaging department.
• Disposable single-use hygiene: The 2View is disposed of after use, eliminating risks of exposure to bodily fluids and the challenges of cleaning and returning a container to the OR.

The new 2View Specimen Mammography Container (patent pending) offers a better method for imaging partial mastectomy specimens. Its square shape guarantees two 90-degree orthogonal views, necessary to evaluate all six margins. The unique retention method ensures any size specimen can be retained with minimal compression. Excessive compression can damage the very margins being assessed, or can push good material out beyond the original margins, providing a “false negative” result. These risks are eliminated with the 2View.

The 2View comes with an integrated radio-opaque grid which the radiologist can use to reference areas of concern to either the surgeon or the pathologist. The transparent body allows the surgeon to assess the orientation and retention of the specimen before it leaves the OR. The snap fit lid and foam rubber retainers practically eliminate any exposure to bodily fluids.

The 2View’s ability to provide orthogonal views without manipulation ensures that the specimen will not be damaged in the imaging process. The specimen travels from the OR to imaging and on to pathology completely untouched. Surgeons are confident that the specimen arrives in pathology undamaged. Pathologists are confident that the specimen received is exactly as the surgeon removed it. Radiologists are confident that all 6 margins have been properly assessed without manipulating the specimen itself. Technologists no longer have to deal with handling, and potentially damaging, delicate tissue.
