Dissecting Soft Board
Dissecting Soft Board is a pliable, cushioned platform used in laboratories and educational settings to securely pin and stabilize biological specimens during dissection. Made from resilient, non-toxic materials such as foam, rubber, or silicone, the soft board provides an ideal surface that allows easy insertion and repositioning of pins without damaging the specimen or the work surface. It enhances precision and control, making dissections cleaner and more manageable. The board is lightweight, easy to clean, and reusable, commonly used in medical, veterinary, and research laboratories.
