[Histonet] Paraffin embedding tools

[Bartlett, Jeanine (CDC/CCID/NCZVED)]

I think they are called tampers.  I use forceps but I think that's right.

I am trying to rack my brain to come up with the name of the little
stamper metal things that are used to help make tissue lay flat in the
molds during embedding. If anyone knows the official name of these and
where I can buy them, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
