36 PLUS
CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES: 36 Plus is our best selling fluid.
It is a high index (36) general purpose arterial fluid that assures preservation
and pleasing results with both normal and difficult cases. Its special
blend of penetrants helps its formaldehyde reach all parts of the circulatory
system assuring thorough tissue saturation and complete preservation. 36
Plus combines the use of unique chemicals which modify the effect of formaldehyde
and retain moisture so that a firm body is produced, but the body is free
of tissue burn and ``prunig" frequently associated with high formaldehyde
fluids.
Because 36 Plus contains Stop, it is particularly effective on
cases where tissue gas may be a problem. The Stop also assures deep tissue
penetration to help preserve frozen, decomposed, and other difficult cases
.
HOW TO USE THE FLUID: For ``normal" cases where normal firmness
is desired, 5 or 6 ounces of 36 Plus is recommended in the first gallon
of water (cool). The number of ounces of fluid can then be adjusted in
the second and subsequent gallons of diluted fluid as the body and the
desires of the embalmer dictate. Where a high degree of firmness is desired
8 to 12 ounces of 36 Plus per gallon can be used. For difficult bodies,
where there is evidence of extensive chemotherapy or decomposition, anywhere
from 16 to 24 ounces of 36 Plus may be used. After injection of the first
gallon of diluted fluid the embalmer should proceed as professional judgment
dictates.
