Separating tissue from an intestine.

摘要

For separating an intestine from a cluster of organs harvested from an animal, in particular a pig, cow or sheep, wherein the intestine is connected to the remainder of the cluster through tissue, a device and method are provided. The intestine separating device comprises a guiding device having at least one guiding surface configured to contact the intestine. The guiding device comprises a first and second guiding members together defining a gap for accommodating said tissue. The first and second guiding members are movable towards and away from each other to vary a gap width. A tissue separating device is operative in the gap to provide a separation in the tissue close to the intestine.
