Memb-roller: An effective way of making membrane rolls for pathological examination and studies of human placenta

Abstract For the pathological evaluation of the chorioamniotic membranes, a membrane roll is made to give an orientation to the sections and to cover more extended planes. We designed a new instrument, Annie's memb-roller, for easy preparation of membrane rolls. Annie's memb-roller has two...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract For the pathological evaluation of the chorioamniotic membranes, a membrane roll is made to give an orientation to the sections and to cover more extended planes. We designed a new instrument, Annie's memb-roller, for easy preparation of membrane rolls. Annie's memb-roller has two non-toothed arms which are 2 mm wide, 1 mm thick, and 8 cm long. To test its effectiveness in making a membrane roll, the placentas obtained from pregnant women ( n  = 10) with various obstetrical conditions were used. Preparation of the membrane rolls using Annie's memb-roller was easy and successful in all cases tested. The lengths of the membranes measured from fresh placentas and paraffin sections showed a very good correlation ( p
