The device is applicable to all kinds of surgical specimens, small and large without the need to switch between surgical blades and knifes. The tissue sections will be of the exact thickness to fit into a tissue block for microscopic examinations. This novel tissue slicer will reduce the time spent on cutting the tissue to less than 10%, which will eliminate the need for keeping the patients under general anesthesia for extended periods of time. The device is composed of a manual or an electrical cutting knife with multiple replaceable disposable blades, a specialized cutting board and a multi pin specimen holder device. The board serves two purposes; 1) to secure the tissue to be cut in place and 2) to protect the prosector from cutting injuries. This is potentially a device that could be considered as the Standard of Practice in all pathology labs in the future.
