Frequently Asked Questions – Mopec Swordfish Pathology Saw

What makes the Mopec Swordfish different from other autopsy saws?

The Swordfish is the first bone saw developed specifically for forensic pathology and is fully submersible for cleaning. Its 40V hand-piece runs cooler with less vibration, and the hermetically sealed, CE-certified body supports safer, more hygienic operation.

Is the Mopec Swordfish submersible?

Yes. The Swordfish can be fully submerged for up to 15 minutes for thorough cleaning. Submersion beyond that window may cause water damage, so the 15-minute limit should be observed.

What blades fit the Mopec Swordfish?

The Swordfish uses its own Swordfish-specific blades (formerly the Mopec 5000 blades) mounted on a top-clamp axial mount, not the side-screw blades used by the Mopec 810 and 1000. Round, section, large round, and spinal column profiles are available for it.

Why does the Swordfish run on 40V?

A power supply steps the mains voltage down so the hand-piece operates at 40V. The lower operating voltage gives the hand-piece a cooler touch and reduced vibration during prolonged use.

How does the Swordfish compare to the Mopec 810 and 1000?

The 810 and 1000 are mains-powered side-screw-blade saws aimed at general autopsy work, while the Swordfish is a forensic-focused, submersible, 40V saw with a top-clamp mount and lower vibration. Choose the Swordfish where submersible cleaning and reduced vibration matter, within the ARES Scientific morgue and pathology equipment range.

Can the Swordfish be mounted to an autopsy table?

Yes. It ships with a non-slip portable base and can also be mounted into an autopsy table. A thick, durable cable helps prevent saw damage if the cable is cut.
