Embalming - coinjection
Tissue Aid Co-injection
CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES Sold 24 bottles/case
For emaciated cases we recommend Tissue Aid. This supplemental embalming fluid contains special moisture retaining compounds known as natural colloids. Natural colloids are particularly effective at working from within a body to recover the proper hydration level in the cells so that the body’s natural appearance and form are restored. Sunken tissue is filled out and moisture loss from the body is retarded. The skin also regains a soft, smooth texture and more natural feel.

Tissue Aid is particularly useful in holding the moisture level under low humidity conditions which would result when the air conditioning or the heating system is running almost continuously. It also modifies the harsh action of formaldehyde to furnish a more pliable and life-like feel to the body.
HOW TO USE THE FLUID Tissue Aid should be used on emaciated cases at 4 to 8 ounces per gallon of diluted arterial fluid. It is usually added to the last gallon to be injected. For best results Tissue Aid should be injected under conditions of restricted or closed drainage so that the body is adequately filled out and the proper moisture level is established.

For normal cases, Tissue Aid should be used at 1 to 3 ounces per gallon of diluted arterial fluid. It can be used at the beginning of the embalming process or added to the last gallon as described above.

When I have had cases showing extreme dehydration, I have supplemented my working solution for the head with Tissue Aid. 16fl oz to half gallon of solution diluted with warm water and injecting both common carotid arteries. The results have been very effective but the warm water works better as it thins the Tissue Aid for more effective penetration due to high concentrations being used. In these types of cases I have also opted for Tissue Aid as a tissue filler rather than the more conventional solvent types. Although I have found that slight over filling is necessary to compensate for marginal gravitation of the Tissue Aid, the end results have been remarkable and sustainable for prolonged viewing periods. Tissue Aid has also been used as a surface pack on the face. I firmly believe this product is an essential item for any embalming room.
