ABSTRACT:
Dissection forceps (10) include opposed arms (12) and 14), handle (16), cord (18), and power source adapter (20). Arms (12 and 14) are affixed with heating elements (68), (70) within body (56). Insulation (80, 82, 84, and 86), and insert (88) cooperate with elements (68, 70) in a manner that preferentially heats surfaces (30, 32) as well as points (26, 28). Forceps (10) are particularly useful in manipulating coated samples of biological tissues, such as samples that are encased in a layer of wax, because the heat prevents buildup of the coating substance upon arms (12 and 14) and, particularly, upon points (26 and 28).
