In this unique lab activity, students conduct a forensic pig dissection by modeling the protocols used by a pathologist for a human autopsy. They record their observations of external anatomy and then use a Y incision to open the body cavity for a detailed examination. Students remove all organ systems and take detailed measurements and observations of each organ on the provided Autopsy Report. When students complete the forensic dissection, they return the organs to the body cavity and suture the incisions. Along with the Carolinas Perfect Solution® pigs, a preserved adult pig heart and pig kidney...

Students enjoy doing an autopsy and the specimens are good quality. We had a few that were smaller and more difficult to use but overall excellent hands on activity for forensic science.

I teach a forensic science class and this is the highlight of the course. The students love using the autopsy protocol and are really engaged in the learning activities. The manual and student pages are extremely well written and easy to understand. I use this product over a time span of several weeks in conjuction with other autopsy activities. The perfect solution specimens are terrific and the tissues/organs retain great lifelike color. The kit contains everything I need to teach this unit and is very cost effective for us. Thanks, Carolina!
