Embalming fluids

From left to right:

Spectrum cavity chemical, Permafix cavity chemical, Rectifiant water corrective, Metasyn arterial, Introfiant arterial (for difficult cases), Permaglo arterial with dye, Restorative humectant (moisture restorer), Permaglo arterial, Plasdopake arterial, Permaflow V2 water corrective, Metaflow arterial conditioner.

This spray is used to clean the skin and orifices of the body prior to or after embalming. It is a highly effective disinfectant and is sometimes added to the arterial fluid to kill the microbes that cause tissue gas.

These are the chemicals injected into the abdominal and thoracic cavities via the trocar. About two bottles of fluid are used per body. The chemical on the left has an index of 5 (5% formaldehyde) and the chemical on the right has an index of 22 (22% formaldehyde). Many embalmers prefer the lower index chemical because it preserves just as good or better than the higher index chemical, but doesn’t have the strong fumes.
