Walther Thiel Method for the Preservation of Corpses with Maintenance of the main physical properties of Vivo.

The technique that allows the preservation of all natural body color was developed by the German Walther Thiel in 1992. After applying the formula, you can keep the body out of the liquid, taking care not to dry out and storing it in a closed container, making the logistic of using the body much easier and convenient, there's not emanation of harmful or irritating gases such in other methods.The technique was tested in November 2008, in an adult body, caucasian, male, thawed, without formolized, who was given the solution described by Thiel for intravascular injection, and then the material was immersed in a pool prepared with the dip solution.The body has now been 37 months in perfect condition. It was a nonirritating dead body and nearly odorless, with a large passive joint motion, with no stiffness. Maintains color, flexibility and plasticity of the tissues at a level equivalent to fresh material. The vascular filling with latex is done without difficulty and reaches the smallest vessels (<1mm), as in the fresh corpse.The method of fixation and preservation of Walther Thiel allows longer storage, keep the color, texture, plasticity and flexibility of the fresh specimen. Storage is simple and not requires the use of sinks, refrigerators or freezers. Vessels can be filled and canaliculi to their finest branches. This allows use to great advantage against formolized material, and even on fresh material for its simplicity and durability. Its many uses are applicable in anatomical research, for teaching at the undergraduate (prossection and dissection) and surgical skills training at the graduate (laparoscopy, arthroscopy, endoscopy).
