Gross Anatomy

  • Disposable lab coats (gloves will be provided in the laboratory)
  • Dissecting instrument kit containing:
    • #3 scalpel handle (#10 Bard-Parker blades will be provided in the lab)
    • 6" "Mayo"-type scissors
    • 4" "Iris"- type sharp point scissors
    • 6" tissue forceps, toothed
    • 6" tissue forceps, no teeth
  • Probe

It is not necessary for every student to purchase a kit.  Meet with your dissection group prior to the first lab to decide what to purchase.  Three kits per group should be adequate.  Your group may also want to purchase more specialized tools such as curved scissors and hemostats (for holding tissue and changing scalpel blades) and a copy of Grant's Atlas and the required Dissector for common use in the lab.
