disection kits

Do they sell the disection kits at the bookstore on campus and are they readilyavailable as it seems impractible to try to put it in caaryon luggage and try to get it past security?

re

they do sell them at the bookstore for like 190 ec or something rediculose(sp?)

you are better off buying it and putting it in your check-in baggage.

I bought mine during my stay in san juan (spent a few days there with some friends)

I made the mistake of forgetting to pack it in my big bag. So when I went through the xray machine they found it. I got a few questions about it and why I needed to have it.

allheart.com should sell a dissection kit for 15-20 I think.


replacement blades you can buy in the bookstore for $2 ec each.

necessities...

about dissection kits...DONT get anything fancy. all you need is a scapel, small pair of scissors, clamp/forceps/pincers and a probe. NOTHING ELSE!

dont be suckered into buying these nice dissection kits with multi-weighted scapels and probes and different sized scissors and leather-bound covers....all of that is useless for 2nd semester.

those pointy scissors

The only three things you really need:

1- Scissors with sharp pointy ends. To clear away hours and hours of fat.

2- Scalpel. They come in different sizes so make sure your replacement blades match. I forgot which sizes the bookstore carries. Not all of them.

3- Tweezers or clamps to show something to others.

The rest is just nice-ifs.
