Abstract

The main object of the present study is to provide a composition of bodypreservation fluid which is  effective in preventing decomposition of cadavers, maintaining a desired lifelike appearance of the body which is non hazardous for dissection and environmentally safe. The primary aim of this study is to provide an edifice to the surgeons so that we can express our surgical talents for independent learning and thinking, perform psychomotor skills and exchange our views. Dissection can thus play many roles in the educational process. For funeral embalming it is very essential to introduce some coloring agents so as to enliven the dull state of death, whereas for the anatomical dissection it is important to restore or enhance a normal ante mortem appearance of the body. It was observed that glutaraldehyde with other chemical composition of the embalming fluid was very effective in preservation of cadavers for surgical dissections, anatomic dissections for undergraduate and postgraduates, for staff working in the department of anatomy from the health and toxic hazards of formalin, by prevention of growth of bacteria, fungus and also decay and discoloration.
