Supplies

• Scalpels either for whole class or just for Director and assistants. The number depends on whether or not the host school wants the classes to handle them or not.
• Gloves can be latex or plastic. Some people may be allergic to latex so plastic may be a safer option.
• Probes will be needed for the whole class in order to properly identify a coronary artery and other various anatomical parts.
• Dissection Trays are needed for the dissection itself and will be provided by Lincoln if they are not available at the host school.
• Surgical Scissors are used to make cuts through the atrioventricular septum.
• Diagrams and written instructions provided by the Director.
• And of course, the pig hearts in enough quantity to benefit the classroom; perhaps two people to one heart or each person to their own.
