Abstract:
A cordless heated forceps device useful for manipulating tissue samples in a paraffin or other embedding medium, e.g., in histology and pathology labs. The forceps in one implementation has tip elements that are bound to a resistive heat-dissipating component with copper wire and soldered to form a unitary tip assembly. Circuitry can be provided in the body, e.g., the legs, of the forceps device, and may include two circuits, one for resistive heating of the forceps tip elements, and the other for recharging one or more rechargeable batteries in the forceps device. The forceps legs have air gaps or non-conductive material at their distal portions in proximity to the forceps tip elements. The forceps device can be constructed to mate with a recharging base station adapted to connect to a computer or processor with network connectivity, for remote actuation.
