Anatomy tables — cadaver dissection tables for medical schools
American Mortuary Coolers manufactures anatomy tables — cadaver dissection tables built for university gross anatomy labs, medical and dental schools, and anatomical research programs. Every table is fabricated from 304 or 316 stainless steel and built for the demands of a teaching environment. We are a U.S. manufacturer selling factory-direct, not a distributor reselling another brand.
The line covers stainless steel cadaver dissection tables in open and covered configurations, with optional drawers, drainage, and multi-station layouts for cohort teaching. Tables are sized and finished for repeated student use and rapid disinfection between sessions.
Built for the gross anatomy lab
An anatomy table earns its place through durability, sanitation, and student access. Key considerations for a teaching lab:
- — Multi-station layouts — consistent tables across a cohort so every student group works on an identical surface.
- — Covered configurations — recessed tops for specimen containment and clean storage between sessions.
- — Open configurations with drawers — flat working surface plus instrument and supply storage at the station.
- — Drainage and disinfection — sloped surfaces and seamless welds for fast turnaround in a high-use lab.
Construction & standards
Anatomy tables are welded from 304 or 316 stainless steel with seamless welds, rounded edges, and surfaces finished for repeated disinfection. Optional drawers, drainage, and immersion features are specified per order. Tables are designed to meet OSHA workplace standards and to support the ventilation and formaldehyde-control requirements of a cadaver lab.
Where these tables are used
Our anatomy tables serve university medical and dental schools, allied-health and nursing programs, mortuary science schools, and anatomical research and body-donation programs — supporting gross anatomy instruction, prosection, and cadaver-based study.
Manufacturer-direct vs. distributor
Most anatomy and cadaver dissection tables sold in the United States move through distributors that mark up another company's equipment. We design and fabricate in-house and ship factory-direct, which removes the reseller margin and lets us match dimensions, station counts, and storage to your lab's floor plan and budget. Programs comparing quotes from Mopec, Mortech, or other suppliers are encouraged to request a direct comparison.
Frequently asked questions
What is an anatomy table?
An anatomy table is a stainless steel cadaver dissection table built for gross anatomy teaching labs in medical schools, dental schools, and allied-health programs. It supports prosection and cadaver-based instruction.
Can you supply matching tables for a full anatomy lab?
Yes. We build multi-station orders so every student group works on an identical surface, and we match dimensions and storage to your floor plan.
What stainless steel grade are your anatomy tables made from?
Tables are fabricated from 304 stainless steel as standard, with 316 available for higher chemical and corrosion resistance. Welds are seamless and surfaces finish for fast disinfection.
Do anatomy tables include drawers or drainage?
Optional. Open tables can include drawers for instruments and supplies; covered tables provide a recessed top with drainage. Features are specified per order.
What is the difference between an anatomy table and an autopsy table?
An anatomy table is configured for teaching and cadaver-based study in education settings; an autopsy table is configured for post-mortem examination in forensic and hospital morgues. Construction is similar, but layout and features differ.
How do I get pricing for anatomy tables?
Pricing is quote-based, including multi-station orders. Submit a request and our team returns a configured quote, typically within 24 hours.
