![]() Recent studies have indicated that humans certified to have died from causes other than infectious diseases can contain pathogens, including bacterial and mycotic. This invention relates to preservatives and more particularly to an improved disinfecting embalming composition. A method of disinfecting and preserving body tissues of a corpse comprising the step of injecting into the arterial system of said corpse an effective amount of a composition comprising a mixture of a glutaraldehyde solution and an alkalinating solution wherein the mixture contains approximately 2% by weight glutaraldehyde, approximately 2.0 to 3.0% by weight formaldehyde and approximately 4 ounces of alkalinating solution, and wherein said glutaraldehyde and said alkalinating solutions are comprised of the following: The method of claim 4 wherein the glutaraldehyde solution comprises the following:Ħ. A method of disinfecting and preserving body tissues of a corpse comprising the step of injecting into the arterial system of said corpse an effective amount of a composition comprising a mixture of a glutaraldehyde solution and an alkalinating solution wherein the mixture contains approximately 2% by weight glutaraldehyde, approximately 2.0 to 3.0% by weight formaldehyde and approximately 4 ounces of alkalinating solution, and wherein said glutaraldehyde and said alkalinating solutions are comprised of the following:ĥ. A disinfecting embalming composition comprising a mixture of glutaraldehyde solution and an alkalinating solution wherein the mixture contains approximately 2% by weight glutaraldehyde, approximately 2.0 to 3.0% by weight formaldehyde and approximately 4 ounces of alkalinating solution, and wherein said glutaraldehyde and said alkalinating solutions are comprised of the following:Ĥ. The composition of claim 1 wherein the glutaraldehyde solution comprises the following:ģ. A disinfecting embalming composition comprising a mixture of glutaraldehyde solution and an alkalinating solution wherein the mixture contains approximately 2% by weight glutaraldehyde, approximately 2.0 to 3.0% by weight formaldehyde and approximately 4 ounces of alkalinating solution, and wherein said glutaraldehyde and said alkalinating solutions are comprised of the following:Ģ. Much of the organic and analytical chemistry is beyond the scope of the average mortician.1. ![]() ![]() Sleichter (University of Cincinnati, 1939). An interesting section is that on the selective absorption of formaldehyde by different tissues, which has been taken from the master's thesis of G. Some of the material has been obtained from antiquated and obsolete textbooks such as Barnes's Art and Science of Embalming (Chicago, 1905). The subject matter includes a review of the historical development of embalming, some phases of the chemistry of putrefaction, the action, formulation and compounding of embalming fluids, the chemical and physical properties of preservatives, a few analytical methods, the determination of the phenol coefficient, a digest of jurisdictional regulations and a digest of American patents for embalming preparations. The author has compiled an interesting and authoritative book, probably the first of its kind, for the practicing mortician.
