TISSUE AID
CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES: For emaciated cases Frigid Fluid
Co recommends Tissue Aid. This supplemental embalming fluid contains special
moisture retaining compounds known as natural colloids. Natural colloids
are particularly effective at working from within a body to recover the
proper hydration level in the cells so that the body's natural appearance
and form are restored. Sunken tissue is filled out and moisture loss from
the body is retarded. The skin also regains a soft, smooth texture and
more natural feel. Tissue Aid is particularly useful in holding the moisture
level of the body under low humidity conditions which would result when
the air conditioning or the heating system is running almost continuously.
It also modifies the harsh action of formaldehyde to furnish a more pliable
and life-like feel to the body.
HOW TO USE THE FLUID: Tissue Aid should be used on emaciated
cases at 4 to 8 ounces per gallon of diluted arterial fluid. It is usually
added to the last gallon to be injected. For best results Tissue Aid should
be injected under conditions of restricted or closed drainage so that the
body is adequately filled out and the proper moisture level is established.
For normal cases Tissue Aid should be used at 1 to 3 ounces per gallon
of diluted arterial fluid. It can be used from beginning to end of the
embalming process or added to the last gallon as described above.
