USP 5500B Bariatric Autopsy Cart — Hand-Crank Height, All-Stainless, Made in USA
The USP 5500B is a bariatric autopsy cart with hand-crank height adjustment, built for high-demand morgue, medical examiner, and forensic environments handling larger cases. All-stainless construction stands up to daily fluid exposure and aggressive cleaning, while the hand-crank chassis delivers precise working-height control with no hydraulics to service. The recessed 14-gauge top sheds fluid to a drain, and heavy-duty 8" total-lock casters move and hold a loaded cart on any morgue floor. Built by U.S. Autopsy Equipment, the forensic line from U.S. Pathology Equipment — a division of American Mortuary Equipment. Sold factory-direct.
