CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES Sold 24 bottles/case
Leak Guard is a unique supplemental fluid designed to prevent leakage of body fluids and to pull excessive moisture from the body. Leak Guard combines an effective pore closer with a proven moisture reducer and tissue hardener. Badly bloated bodies frequently leak through the pores, complicating their preservation and the lay-out procedure. Leak Guard closes pores from within so that pore leakage is eliminated. At the same time Leak Guard helps remove excessive moisture from the tissue and firms it. To assist the preservation of the body, a powerful, non-formaldehyde (glutaraldehyde) disinfectant is included so that Leak Guard can be injected directly into tissue as well as used in conjunction with an arterial fluid.

HOW TO USE THE FLUID We recommend that Leak Guard be used with the last gallon or two of diluted arterial fluid. It should be added to the dilution water at 8 to 10 ounces per gallon, followed by 5 to 10 ounces per gallon of diluted fluid. For optimal disinfection 4 to 6 ounces of Water/Clot Guard should be added after the arterial fluid. Injection is best at a low pressure and modest flow rate using a pulsator. As each case will vary according to the condition of the body, the above recommendations can be altered as professional judgment dictates. Leak Guard can also be used to enhance the firming action of cavity fluids and autopsy compounds. It is compatible with fluids containing less than 20% alcohols.
