Paraffin tappers

EMS paraffin tappers come in multiple sizes to fit different embedding moulds. It holds the heat so the tissue stays flat in the mould. They will help you get any piece of tissue embedded flat and in the same plane for easier cutting.

These paraffin tappers are helpful with multiple piece skins, large pieces of uterus, and even those multi-piece biopsies. They reduce re-cuts and re-embeds, as the tissue is embedded flat in the embedding mould the first time. Available in a kit with a base and five tappers. Replacement tappers are available in all sizes, including an additional XX-Large tapper.
