4 Dissection Kit Overview

IMPORTANT POINTS:

• Please write your name and make identifying marks on your instruments…

Every year, instruments show up and no way to return them to their owners. 

ID marks can be made with nail polish, a small bit of colored tape, engraving, etc…

• Be sure to thoroughly clean and disinfect your dissection kits when using on

cadavers and anatomical specimens, then use on a suture pad at home!
