Anatomy Set

Anatomy Set, a set of instruments necessary for preparing anatomical specimens, in cases or boxes of various sizes, materials, and finishes, sometimes folding like a wallet and in this form convenient for carrying in a pocket. The number of named instruments and the quantity of tools in such sets varies depending on the requirements made of them. The simplest and most affordable type for students in price is a small box with 3-4 scalpels with handles (preferably) with handles made of strong wood and one pair of forceps, preferably of the English pattern; scissors may also be added; hooks and retractors can be easily made from wire by the preparers themselves. For

classes in normal anatomy within the institute, more complete sets are not required; otherwise, the matter stands differently in cases requiring forensic-medical autopsies or embalming outside the anatomical theater. In such cases, the set is supplemented with cartilage knives and brain knives, intestinal and bone scissors, plate and bow saws, hooks, chisels, a hammer, needles, probes, anthropometric instruments, and other tools.
