Walb Post Mortem Knife 31cm, Blade size 170mm

Clinical Application

Designed for forensic pathology and autopsy work, this Walb post mortem knife is intended for controlled soft-tissue dissection, creation of skin flaps, midline and Y‑shaped thoracoabdominal incisions, and removal or inspection of viscera. The long blade length helps examiners reach deeper structures without repositioning the body excessively, improving workflow in routine post‑mortem examinations.

Design & Configuration

The instrument pairs an extended overall length with a 170 mm cutting blade to provide reach and slicing efficiency needed in post‑mortem procedures. The single‑edged dissecting blade geometry permits smooth, continuous strokes for precise incisions and reduces the risk of tissue snagging. The length of the handle and blade enhances leverage and control when opening cavities or excising organs, which is particularly useful in adult autopsies and forensic applications.
