Abstract
A tissue marking system for marking a tissue sample includes at least one container and at least one ink stored in the container. The at least one ink may include a plurality of inks each of a different colored and may be sterile or non-sterile. The ink has a viscosity of from 85 ku to 115 ku such that when applied to a tissue surface having adjacent tissue margins, the ink does not migrate onto an adjacent tissue surface.
Claims13
A tissue marking system for use in marking a tissue sample having a tissue margin, the system comprising:
- a container;
- and
- a tissue marking ink stored in said container, said ink having a viscosity of from 85 ku to 115 ku which composition is configured to cause said at least one ink to adhere to a surface of the tissue sample without bleeding.
A tissue marking system for marking a tissue sample having at least three adjacent tissue surfaces, said at least three adjacent tissue surfaces being bounded by a tissue margin, the system comprising:
- at least one container configured for introduction into a surgical operating area;
- and
- at least one ink having a viscosity of from 85 ku to 115 ku such that when applied to one of said three tissue surfaces, said ink does not migrate onto an adjacent tissue surface.
