Abstract:

Applicant's invention defines a ventilated dissection table having an air chamber atop a pedestal. Said air chamber comprises a support structure for a removable stainless steel work surface positioned at an optimal distance below an air inlet, said air inlet having a negative pressure created by a blower attached to an exhaust duct which draws undesirable noxious fumes from said air inlet through said chamber past a screen into a plenum and out the exhaust. The positioning of said work surface to air inlet provides improved capture performance. Primary and secondary drains are provided for the removal of fluids generated by the dissection process, as well as the facilitation of basic cleaning. The table is made of stainless steel to aid cleaning and is sized for ease of transfer and mobility via size and weight.
