Heated tissue forceps and method

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