Selecting comfort grip knob size:
When choosing which knob size to get, a good rule of thumb is to order the same knob size as the disposable glove size you typically wear. Smaller knob sizes take up less space and are less prone to getting knocked over. Larger knob sizes can be more ergonomic and allow histotechnicians to more comfortably apply pressure to specimens.
