CAVITY 55
CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES: Cavity 55 gives the embalmer
a low odor, formaldehyde containing cavity fluid with especially good disinfection
and deodorizing capability and excellent penetration. Combining the action
of four proven preservatives and disinfectants, Cavity 55 quickly penetrates
to the areas where putrefaction and odor production are taking place, and
stops them in their tracks. With the preservative and disinfection actions
of formaldehyde as a base, Cavity 55 also takes advantage of the broad
spectrum disinfection and sporicidal properties of glutaraldehyde and disinfection
action of two additional disinfectants. The result is a potent cavity fluid
that does not generate unpleasant formaldehyde vapors under normal conditions
of use.
HOW TO USE THE FLUID: For normal bodies of average weight,
use 2 pints of Cavity 55. For larger bodies, or those in which decomposition
is already underway, use 3 or more pints as professional judgment dictates.
Reaspiration followed by the use of additional Cavity 55 is recommended
for most cases. For use as an external pack for bed sores, etc., saturate
cotton with Cavity 55 and place on the area of need. Cover the pack with
plastic and allow the chemical to work for several hours, overnight if
possible.
