Key elements of the saw such as doors, the top of the work table or the upper pulley of the saw blade are easy to remove without tools and can be cleaned under running water. Rinsing immediately after use removes any tissue residues from the band, subsequent samples are not affected and the overall system is far easier to clean.

Problem:
Labs are using equipment originally designed to cut wood, stained glass, and even butchered meat. This has led to poor quality samples and extremely dangerous working conditions.
Solution:
EXAKT’s 312 Pathology Saw was specifically designed for the path lab after years of experience and cooperation with hospitals and universities.
Results:
High-quality gross samples with little or no destruction of the tissue, soft or hard. Designed to be safely operated by the PA or Resident without risk of cutting themselves or breathing in aerosolized bone and tissue matter.

AAPA’s 2019 Fall Conference – Come see the saw that was designed for your safety and your pathology lab! Booth #20, August 28th and 29th.
The EXAKT 312 Diamond Band Saw was developed to meet the special requirements of pathology and anatomy (human and
veterinary) medicine. With the EXAKT 312, even the smallest cuts down to about 1 mm can be made freehand with almost no risk of cuts to the operator. Whether it’s soft tissue, bones or implants in the bone-tissue composite, it can all be cut effortlessly and quickly. Not
only this, but it does it with a cut surface quality surpassing every other process available. An initial assessment of the cut can generally be made right away. Outfitted with a variety of different options, the EXAKT 312 can be adapted to individual handling and operating comfort needs.
The EXAKT 312 is very easy to operate and clean. Band changes can be made without tools or adjustment. The stainless-steel housing is consistently designed for good water and tissue drainage. For thorough cleaning and disinfection, modules can be quickly removed without the use of tools.
The EXAKT 312 Diamond Band Saw doesn’t cut, it grinds very precisely. This is the reason for the outstanding surface quality
of the cut surface. Complete preservation of the sample with a surface free of artifacts, micro-fractures and breakouts enables
immediate inspection and assessment of the sample. Even the cell information of very different tissue densities remains
intact. Since the cutting band grinds rather than cuts, there is no immediate risk of injury to the operator in case of inadvertent
contact, which is a first in work safety! Tricky samples with implants, in particular, can be precisely
and safely processed. Guiding the cut is easy and precise, and the process is clean and quiet. Water cooling also reduces dust
development and ensures that the sample doesn’t overheat.
› Superior cut surface quality
› Maximum working safety enables cuts down to 1 mm
› Integrated water cooling prevents overheating of the sample, reduces dust development and keeps the cutting band cleaner
› Cutting band changed without tools or readjustment
› Fast and easy cleaning through the tool-less removal of contaminated modules
› Reliable and time-tested – Hundreds of systems are already in use around the world
The EXAKT 312 is very easy to operate and clean. Band changes can be made without tools or adjustment. The stainless-steel housing is consistently designed for good water and tissue drainage. For thorough cleaning and disinfection, modules can be quickly removed without the use of tools.
The housing simply opens and closes with magnetic catches and the band can be replaced without tools.
Processing bone and bone/soft tissue samples with a butcher’s saw produces poor results and handling is extremely dangerous.
Even small diamond saws create artifact and limit the size of a sample that can be grossed. And neither can easily handle the surprise of an implanted device.
The EXAKT Pathology Saw provides quick, precise sectioning of the sample. It delivers debris-free, undamaged surfaces for Surgical Pathology and cassette-size samples to enhance tissue processing for histology. It combines the highest level of safety with equally high-quality results.
EXAKT Cutting and Grinding devices don’t cut with a sharp sawtooth blade, but cut and grind with minimal thermal and mechanical stress on the sample. The EXAKT CP (Contact Point) process ensures pinpoint application of energy. Even in complex components with materials of different hardnesses, the cut is guided precisely while the sample surface quality is left unimpaired.
EXAKT Cutting and Grinding Technology enables you to approach sample examination in ways which simply weren’t possible for your application until now. Long service life, reliability, and minimal service expenditure also contribute considerably to the economical use of our systems.
Highlights:
› Almost no burring, fraying or tearing out on the cut surface
› Safe operation – Minimal risk of the operator being cut
› Coplanar cuts with very tight tolerances
› Flexible and very precise alignment of the samples
› Cutting process for a wide variety of different materials, composites and components
› A variety of options for sample support
