Grossing Container

Polypot Containers are sterile or non-sterile, single-use, leak-proof medical devices manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene for the collection, fixation, transport, and processing of small tissue specimens (biopsies, polyps, surgical excisions) for histopathological examination. Available in capacities ranging from 15 mL to 500 mL, with wide-mouth design for easy specimen deposition and screw-cap closure with tamper-evident seal. Most commonly prefilled with 10% neutral buffered formalin, the standard fixative for routine histology, providing immediate tissue preservation and preventing autolysis. Critical performance attributes include absolute leak-proof integrity to prevent formalin exposure, chemical compatibility with histological reagents, and adequate labeling surface for patient identification. Essential safety principles include strict adherence to formalin hazard precautions (toxic, carcinogenic), immediate specimen labeling at the point of collection to prevent identification errors, and absolute single-use protocol. An indispensable container in surgical pathology, endoscopy, dermatology, and gynecologic procedure settings.
