Empowering Embalmers with Unprecedented Control and Efficiency Introducing the Frigid Embalming Machine TREATING DECUBITUS ULCERS: A GUIDE FOR EMBALMERS In a transformative breakthrough for the funeral industry, SILITECH, the cutting-edge Silicone Technology, is proving to be a game-changer in arterial embalming, ushering in an era of enhanced preservation and moisture retention. Embraced by embalmers worldwide, SILITECH chemicals boast unique properties that break up hydrogen bonds, enabling deeper diffusion of embalming chemicals, and ensuring optimal distribution throughout the body. One of the key advantages of SILITECH chemicals lies in their ability to disrupt hydrogen bonds, facilitating the better distribution of embalming chemicals within the arterial system. This breakthrough promotes greater diffusion, reaching even the most distal regions of the body, ensuring a more thorough and comprehensive preservation process. As a result, embalmers can achieve a level of preservation that was previously unattainable, providing families with a lasting, lifelike memory of their departed loved ones. Moreover, SILITECH chemicals’ inert properties play a pivotal role in the success of the embalming process. By effectively delivering embalming chemicals to both superficial and deep tissues, SILITECH ensures that every part of the body receives the necessary treatment. This comprehensive distribution helps in maintaining the natural texture of the tissue, providing a dignified appearance to the deceased. The advantages of employing SILITECH chemicals in the embalming solution extend beyond enhanced preservation. One of the remarkable properties of SILITECH is its ability to aid in moisture retention. By preserving the body’s natural moisture levels, SILITECH chemicals prevent dehydration, allowing the deceased to maintain a more lifelike and peaceful appearance during visitations and funerals. The impact of SILITECH technology on the mortuary sciences is undeniable. Its capacity to break up hydrogen bonds, enable deep diffusion, and ensure comprehensive chemical distribution Every embalmer knows that decubitus ulcers can be common these days. Decubitus ulcers, also known as pressure sores, are areas of damaged skin and underlying tissues that develop when there has been prolonged pressure on the skin. These sores can be common in individuals who may not be able to reposition themselves frequently enough, such as those who are bedridden or restricted to a wheelchair. Pressure, friction, and moisture are the main causes of decubitus ulcers. If left untreated, these sores can progress and become infected and necrotic. These ulcers can be observed by the embalmer as swelling and necrotic tissue around the affected area. The area may also have unpleasant odors associated with them. If the ulcer is in an advanced stage, arterial embalming may be limited to the area as the vasculature structure, including capillaries, may be compromised. Here is how an embalmer friend of mine approaches these conditions. First, begin the arterial embalming procedure as you normally would. A slightly stronger solution might be necessary. I create this by adding Frigid Rigid (1-RIGID) to the solution I am making. Rigid, a 35-index fluid, is designed to aggressively treat problem areas. Make sure to observe the affected area. You may notice that blood and arterial fluid leak from the area. This is a good sign. This indicates that blood is being displaced by your arterial solution. It is recommended that you continue to inject the body as normal. After arterial injection, I treat the area with Vis-OGuard Gel (1-VISOGUARD) overnight. I prefer this gel over others because it is viscous and “sticks” to the affected area. This viscosity ensures exposure of the preservative chemicals to the tissue. Vis-O-Guard gel also contains the active ingredient found in Frigid’s STOP that helps to combat tissue gas and maggot infestation; both of has elevated arterial embalming to an unprecedented level of efficacy. Combined with its inert properties that aid in moisture retention and tissue texture preservation, SILITECH chemicals have become a beacon of hope for embalmers, offering them a profound and effective way to perform the embalming procedure. As SILITECH continues to gain prominence among embalmers, we can expect further innovations that will reshape funeral practices and redefine the standards of preservation. The legacy of this revolutionary technology will undoubtedly endure, leaving an indelible mark on the industry for generations to come.

SILITECH by Frigid Fluid: a Game-Changer in the Prep Room which commonly be found on decubitus ulcers. After about eight hours, I wash the area and treat it further with Paulex Powder (1-PAULPOWD1). This is a great product for further disinfection, sanitation and odor reduction. I make sure to use plastic garments over the affected area. For example, if the ulcer is found in the sacrum area, I would use a Plastic Coveralls (2-COVEPLAS-S). This helps ensure that the powder stays in place and continues to work on the affected area. Embalming can be challenging, especially when dealing with decubitus ulcers. However, with careful observation and the use of specialized products, embalmers can effectively treat the affected area and preserve the body.
