AccuBoard™ is a valuable new tool for pathology laboratories in the high stakes battle against breast cancer. AccuBoard™ standardizes the orientation of mastectomy specimens in the lab, ensuring consistent, repeatable views.
Using one of the color-coded, left or right breast AccuBoard™ grossing boards, pathologists simply identify each breast quadrant by orienting each specimen on the clearly-marked AccuBoard™ based on the board markings and the orienting sutures placed by the surgeon on the specimen.
Increased awareness about breast cancer screening has resulted in the identification of tumors in patients at earlier, smaller stages than ever before. Localization of such small but malignant lesions may be extremely difficult on gross examination alone, unless the breast surgeon is able to orient the specimen in a consistent way based on identified quadrants.
AccuBoard™ virtually eliminates the confusion that can result from changes in quadrant orientation of deep margin specimens, guarantees easy localization and eliminates the mess and variability inherent in disposable cutting and mounting surfaces.
System consists of (2) 10" x 14", colour-coded, cut and abrasion-resistant boards that are specially manufactured from surgical-grade plastic
Feature permanently imbedded, highly visible vertical and horizontal midlines
Four quadrants are labeled: UOQ (upper outer quadrant), UIO (upper inner quadrant), LOQ (lower outer quadrant) and LIQ (lower inner quadrant)
12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions are labeled for correlation with clinical localization
