effective with jaundiced bodies. 1) It contains a chemical which
bleaches the color of bilirubin, the pigment responsible for the
yellowing of the tissue. 2) It contains a generous quantity of agents
designed to promote distribution throughout the body, and thus
facilitate the flushing of yellow pigmentations from the body.
recommends Solvol pre-injection fluid. A 6 index fluid, Solvol is
excellent for clearing the body to allow for better distribution and
penetration of an arterial fluid. Special ingredients help prevent
water-logging sometimes associated with pre-injection, Sovol is
useful as a bleaching agent.
of body fluids and to pull excessive moisture from the body. Leak Guard
combines an effective pore closer with a proven moisture reducer and
tissue hardener. Badly bloated bodies frequently leak through the pores
complicating their preservation and the lay-out procedure.
choice. Frequently the cause of a blotchy appearance and the fading of
color, hard water that exceeds 80 ppm calcium carbonate cannot be
neutralized by the chemicals in arterial fluid alone. A product such as
Water/Clot Guard must be added to counter the effects of the hard
water. Hard water salts work against the embalmer in serveral ways.
additional color is desired during arterial injection. This special blend of
dyes is a staining system so the resultant pink color can be expected to
be retained by the tissue over a period of time. Rose Colortone is not
just a tracer dye designed to indicate only the distribution of the fluid
although it will perform that function as well. Rose Colortone is
compatible with any arterial fluid.
to choose is Humectant. An emulsion of several special oils and
moisturizing agents, Humectant helps to fill sallow tissue and return a
life-like appearance and skin texture. Wrinkling is controlled and a
proper moisture level is restored.
blood is anticipated, Plasma Flo is the chemical of choice. For
many years embalmers have relied on the excellent way Plasma
Flo helps to clear and prepare the vascular system for optimum
fluid distribution and penetration.
to improve distribution and drainage by freeing capillaries of
congealing blood. Free Flo, when used with an arterial fluid,
markedly improves the ability of the diluted arterial to displace the
blood and allow the preservative chemical to do its work.
good penetration is desired, Frigid Fluid recommends Cavity King.
At 25 index this cavity fluid furnishes excellent preservative power to
protect against visceral putrefaction and odor development.
