    Author: Thirumala S, Pinkhasov D, Medalie N.
    Journal: Ann Diagn Pathol; 2000 Feb; 4(1):44-5. PubMed ID: 10684381.
    Abstract:
    In this article we describe a simple technique to avoid accidential needle stick injuries while grossing large specimens. Rubber bands instead of needles and Plexiglas instead of wax board is used to eliminate needle stick injuries. This method is quite simple and imprints of rubber bands do not interfere with gross anatomy of the specimen.
