The following subjects are described in this chapter:
• Correct use
• Application
• Special properties
• Features
3.1 Correct use
Permanently setup engine-powered band saws are used in medical
pathology for quickly cutting tissue samples and artificial implants for
histological studies.
The diamond pathology saw EXAKT 312 is designed as a cutting band
system for cutting fresh animal and human tissue, bones and implants as
per the safety instructions and in accordance with the relevant standards.
The EXAKT 312 is only of limited suitability for cutting implants made of
ductile substances (e.g. soft a
luminium, copper), as the chip clearance on
the cutting band can quickly become clogged on cutting such materials.
The EXAKT 312 is only intended to be used in medical pathology. In this
application only the original components supplied may be used. Any ot
usage beyond that stated is considered incorrect use. The manufacturer
is not liable for resulting damage. The risk is borne solely by the user.
3.2 Application
The EXAKT 312 has been developed for use in medical pathology. Users
are doctors, scientists and specialist medical personnel.
3.3 Special properties
Currently, band saws with toothed saw bands, as are used in the meat
processing industry, are used in pathology. They involve a high risk of
injury. The EXAKT 312 stands out compared to these band saws due to:
• a lower risk of injury in case of unintentional contact with the cutting
band
• high cut quality, even on bones with implants
• a lower risk of infection due to water flushing/cooling of the cut
• easy cleaning and disinfection
