Embalming - cavity
Vis-O-Guard Gel
CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES Sold in 28.5 oz. jar/each
Vis-O-Guard Gel has been developed for cases where high penetration and odor control are needed. Vis-O-Guard Gel is a surface embalming material of high viscosity designed to cling very well to tissue. It contains proven preservatives, deep penetration agents, and gas and odor control chemicals. As a result, it will deodorize and preserve putrid tissue as well as areas of the body that arterial embalming may have missed.
HOW TO USE For abdominal cavity and cranial cavity walls apply with a brush, spatula or hands (use of double gloves highly recommended) a heavy coating of Vis-O-Guard Gel to the walls and let it penetrate into the tissue. Most seepage will also be eliminated. Where arterial injection may not have reached a surface of the body, apply a heavy coating of Vis-O-Guard Gel to the area with a spatula. Cover the treated area with plastic to control preservative fumes and to encourage penetration of the preservatives into the tissue. Let it sit as long as feasible. No other treatment should be required. Vis-O-Guard Gel is especially useful when odor control is needed along with preservation. Bed sores and areas of skin slip can be taken care of easily by coating them with the gel and covering with plastic.

Vis-O-Guard Gel is more than just a surface supplementary treatment, I have used it extensively as a cavity treatment for autopsy cases. When a case is being held for a prolonged period of time, or if the case is going to be shipped by air, I used this product. When the viscera are being treated in the pail, I use a good quality cavity fluid. Soaking for several hours, usually overnight, the pail is then aspirated out to remove surplus chemical. Once the viscera is placed back in the cavities i have placed one or two tubs of Vis-O-Guard Gel in the bag and mix with the viscera. I have held cases without any gas formation or deterioration for months using this method, it is worthy of a go.
