• Slender handpiece design gives prosectors fine motor control for precise, repeatable cuts during dissection.
• Cast aluminum housing resists heat-related warping over prolonged use, unlike plastic-bodied alternatives.
• Lifetime lubrication system means no routine lubrication is ever required, simplifying instrument upkeep.
• Reduced exposure to infected tissue supports safer handling in forensic and infectious-case workflows.
• Cross-compatible blade system accepts the same blades as the Mopec 1000 and Stryker 810, including pathology consumables and replacement saw blades.
• Versatile cutting profile handles skull cap removal, long linear cuts, and small bone specimen collection from one handpiece.
• Hospital-grade power connection uses a 10-foot cord with a hospital-grade plug for safe bench or table-side operation.
• Simple disinfection via wipe-down with mild detergent keeps the saw turnaround-ready between cases alongside morgue refrigeration and cold storage.

Frequently Asked Questions – Mopec 810 Pathology Saw

What is the Mopec 810 Pathology Saw used for?

The Mopec 810 is an oscillating bone saw used in autopsy and dissection procedures to remove the skull cap, make linear cuts, and section small bone specimens. Its high-speed oscillation cuts hard tissue while soft tissue moves with the blade, which reduces operator exposure during postmortem examination.

What blades fit the Mopec 810 Pathology Saw?

The 810 accepts the same blades as the Mopec 1000 and Stryker 810 saws, mounted via a side-screw arbor. Round and section profiles are available, and a replacement blade arbor is required; the blade is sold separately and can be ordered with other replacement saw blades and consumables.

Is the Mopec 810 the same as the Stryker 810 saw?

The Mopec 810 is a Mopec-built equivalent in the same instrument class as the Stryker 810 and shares blade compatibility with it. Practitioners choose the Mopec 810 for its cast aluminum housing and slender handle, which many prefer for control and durability.

How does the Mopec 810 compare to the Mopec 1000?

Both are oscillating pathology saws that take the same blades, and the Mopec 1000 is positioned as the more economical option. The 810 is built around a cast aluminum housing and a higher 17,000 rpm motor, and sits within the broader ARES Scientific morgue and pathology equipment range.

Does the Mopec 810 require a blade guard?

No. Because cutting is achieved by high-speed oscillation, soft tissue moves with the blade rather than being cut by it, so no blade guard is needed to protect the operator. This design also reduces exposure to potentially infected tissue.

How do you clean and maintain the Mopec 810?

Wipe the external surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a non-abrasive mild detergent and water, then dry. The saw uses a lifetime lubrication system, so no lubrication or routine internal maintenance is required.
