currettings, nylon bags, tissue papers

From:Gayle Callis

Endometrial currettings in nylon bags from Shandon (they have 3 or 4
sizes), other companies have these too. We have used stiff, smooth lens
paper (but make sure it is not going to shred as some papers are sturdier
than others).  A fine mesh bag could be made from recycled ladies knee high
sheer nylon dress socks, pantyhose was suggested some years ago for large
bone slabs and did work - so everyone can laugh now! Or go to a fabric
store and buy some fine nylon mesh fabric, make own bags??

What about the mesh cassettes available these days, how do people like
them? There is one with an mesh insert that folds over to hold currettings,
looked like a nice design for this purpose.
