Over the last few years, I have tried just about every arterial fluid from every company that I could get my hands on in an effort to not only achieve great preservation but also get an excellent cosmetic effect for the families we serve. I have not been disappointed in any fluid from Frigid that I have tried, but 36 Plus has stood out above the rest. I have consistently had better clearing than expected and fantastic preservation without the drying out and discolorations that a traditional embalming fluid can often have.
The color left behind is incredibly consistent and subtle. With some arterial fluids, the color from the day of embalming to the day of viewing fades by several shades. With 36 Plus this has never happened to me. People look just as good the day of embalming as they do a week or more later. The application of cosmetics after using this product has been a breeze, with little to no cosmetics needed for men and a fantastic base for women. I have also noticed that with the fluids with lanolin and Silitech the reapplication of cosmetics has been dramatically reduced.
36 Plus has quickly become my favorite fluid to use for normal and difficult cases alike.
