[Histonet] alternative for bunsen burner?

[Jackie M O'Connor]

I think that's the crux of her question - what can she use as an 
alternative?   You can find forceps warmers here.

Although, I still miss the ol' bunsen burner.   It was great for burning 
away little fragments of tissue from between the teeth - of the forceps, 
not my teeth.

Why are you still using a bunsen burner? I believe there is a CAP
question about "No open flames" in the lab. I would suggest finding a
replacement.

Hello all,

Our hospital is moving our histology department across the hall and have
asked us if we can find an alternative to the bunsen burner so they
don't have to install a gas line.  The pathologist has told me that
there is some machine that can be used instead of a flame to burn the
forceps while embedding (which is our main use for the bunsen flame).
This is the only lab I have ever worked at and I don't know what such a
machine would be called.  If anyone knows the name, or any other
alternative method can you let me know.  Model numbers/companies would
be a bonus too!  Thanks so much for your help.
