Vented Downdraft Dissection Table with Cover from U.S. Pathology Equipment. A vented, covered dissection table that pulls formaldehyde and fixative vapor down and away from students and faculty. Built for gross anatomy labs, medical examiner teaching rooms and research programs that need vapor control at the table itself.
What is a cadaver dissection table?
A cadaver dissection table is a stainless steel table that holds a human body for anatomical study in medical schools, allied-health programs and research labs. It has a dished or sloped top that drains fluids to an outlet, and is available open, covered, vented (downdraft) or rotating.
Key features
- Downdraft or backdraft extraction through the work surface
- Lift-open stainless cover for specimen storage

Frequently asked questions
Does a vented dissection table replace room ventilation?
No. It captures vapor at the source and works with your room air changes. Your EHS team should confirm exposure monitoring.
Can it connect to our existing exhaust?
Yes. We provide duct size and airflow so your mechanical engineer can tie it in.
What is the difference between an autopsy table and a dissection table?
An autopsy table supports a post-mortem examination to determine cause of death, usually beside a sink with aspirator and waste disposal. A dissection table supports anatomical study over many sessions, so covers, ventilation and specimen preservation matter more.
What are dissection tables made of?
Type 304 stainless steel with welded, polished seams is the standard because it resists formaldehyde, phenol and repeated disinfection.
Why is the Vented Downdraft Dissection Table with Cover quote only?
Each unit is built to order for your room, utilities and caseload. A formal quote gives your procurement office an exact price with lead time and freight to your dock.
Do you accept purchase orders and bids?
Yes. We accept purchase orders, provide a W-9, handle tax-exempt certificates, offer net terms to qualified institutions and respond to bids, RFQs and RFPs with specification sheets and submittals.
Is it compatible with Mopec, Mortech or Thermo Fisher equipment?
Yes. We match dimensions, trays, heights and utility connections to the equipment you already run. Send the existing model number with your request.
