Additional Information for Autopsy Mallet
Autopsy mallets are medical instruments used during autopsies, which are post-mortem examinations performed to determine the cause of death. These mallets are specifically designed to deliver controlled and precise force to the body during the examination process.
Autopsy mallets are typically made of heavy-duty materials such as metal or rubber, and they have a long handle for easy grip and maneuverability. The head of the mallet is usually flat or slightly rounded, allowing for effective impact without causing excessive damage to the body.
During an autopsy, the mallet is used to strike the body in specific areas to facilitate the examination process. This can include breaking bones, separating tissues, or dislodging organs for further analysis. The mallet's design and weight distribution help ensure that the force is applied accurately and safely.
Autopsy mallets are an essential tool in forensic pathology and are commonly found in medical and surgical supply catalogs under the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
