Guest Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Is binocular microscopic dissection the most advanced method used now? I thought I remember someone saying that it was to be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member arfy Posted October 30, 2002 Senior Member Share Posted October 30, 2002 Yes, it is the best way to dissect a donor strip. What you want to avoid are clinics that dissect grafts wearing "loops" which are magnifying visors. (A visor is "head gear"). A microscope can magnify something like 10 to 25 times, a loop only something like 4 to 6 times. I am probably off in my measures, but the point is that the microscope is MUCH more powerful way to see what you are cutting into. (By the way, it is typical for clinics to use loops to PLACE the grafts... no problem. You just don't want them to use loops to DISSECT the grafts. Microscopes only!)
