CutMATE, innovative grossing forceps
Stop hearing complaints that the tissue block was too thick to process
The CutMATE forceps were developed to overcome the variability
of tissue block thickness that is heavily dependent on the type of
tissue, its consistency and the grossing prowess of the operator.
The CutMate forceps, laser-shaped from special AISI 304
stainless steel, will allow to cut consistently blocks of uniform
thickness either 2, 3 or 4 mm.
The unique ?trident-like? design of the 35 mm long prongs,
ergonomically angled at 30? (for both right and left handed
operator) allows cutting of tissue size to fit the
standard, all plastic universal cassettes.
The inside surface of the prongs is specially textured (grooved)
to provide the extra grip needed for stabilizing and slicing
those difficult, hard-to-hold tissues like breast.
