They greatly reduce exposure to formaldehyde vapors by chemically bonding with the formaldehyde and encapsulating the excaping vapors within the pad itself. Pads are easy to use. Place the fresh pad on top of your grossing board and proceed to dissect tissue specimens right on top of it. Any excess formalin that runs off the tissue will be immediately absorbed into the pad and the odor effectively neutralized. To prolong the life of the pad, transfer the specimens using forceps rather than pouring them out onto the board.
Pads are durable and resist tearning, even when saturated.
