Abstract：Objective To develop a new type of automated pathological wax embedding device, aiming to solve the problems of low efficiency, unstable quality, and health hazards in traditional manual wax embedding. Methods The device mainly consists of a transmission module, wax smoothing module, and air cooling module. It fixes wax blocks on a conveyor belt and performs automatic wax smoothing and air cooling solidification in sequence, thus achieving automatic transmission, uniform wax coating, and rapid solidification. Results The device can process wax blocks in batches, significantly improving the efficiency and quality of wax embedding, and reducing the risks and errors of manual operation. Conclusion This device, through a mechanized integrated design, effectively improves the standardization of wax embedding, reduces labor costs, and is suitable for pathology departments in large and medium-sized hospitals, with application and promotion value.
