Buying an autopsy table for a medical examiner office, hospital pathology department, or forensic science program is a significant capital purchase. The wrong table creates workflow problems and premature maintenance costs. This guide covers types, specs, pricing approach, and what to ask your supplier.

Autopsy Table Types

Pedestal autopsy table: The most common ME office autopsy table. Center-column support, perimeter channel drain, electric or manual height adjustment. USPE’s Pedestal Autopsy Table includes electric height adjustment as standard.

Flat-surface dissection table: Used in anatomy programs and some forensic science labs. USPE’s Stainless Dissection Table with Drawers is a standard anatomy lab flat-table configuration.

Downdraft/vented autopsy table: Integrates downward airflow through perforated work surface to clear fumes from the breathing zone. USPE’s Covered Autopsy Dissection Table incorporates this design.

Immersion table: For anatomy programs using non-embalmed or wet-specimen cadavers. See: Electric Immersion Dissection Table.

Autopsy Table Pricing

All USPE autopsy tables are quote-based. Pricing depends on configuration, size, drain spec, and site requirements. Starting prices are in the Autopsy Table Pricing Guide.
