Stryker saw (Homer Stryker)
Associated persons:
Homer H. Stryker
Description:
A rapidly vibrating saw used for cutting bone or plaster casts. It is the instrument of choice for most prosectors faced with removing the brain. Stryker oscillates a half circle of saw through about 20 degrees. This limited action prevents the saw from cutting soft tissues, notably the prosector's hand.
