Background: Plastination is a technique of long-term preservation of the natural tissues without the typical problems related to wet specimens. Plastinated specimens are durable, dry, and flexible. In this process, the water and fat in biological tissues are substituted by a curable polymeric resin, i.e., subsequently cured. In this study, a new unsaturated polyester resin (P96) was synthesized...

Polyester resin plastination is a less expensive technique, resulting in high quality plastinates. The dissected poultry specimens were fixed with formaldehyde. Specimens were impregnated with resin, followed by curing resulted in good quality dry, odourless and solid specimens which can be used for teaching.

Plastination is a technique for preserving tissues, organs, and whole bodies for medical purposes and public display. Gunther von Hagens [4] invented a form of the method in 1977 at Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany, after he observed medical students struggle working with cadavers that quickly decomposed. Von Hagens' body models, called plastinates, have since become widely used edu...

There are many preservation techniques that used to ensure the changes (odor, color, and elasticity) in characteristics of animal or human bodies after death minimized field anatomy. One most modern anatomic specimen preparation methods is plastination technique. Therefore, primary stages were applied muscle tissue this study. The aim current study present color quantitatively by using a colori...

Introduction. The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) provides both mobility and stability of the radiocarpal joint. TFCC lesions are difficult to diagnose due to the complex anatomy. The standard treatment for TFCC lesions is arthroscopy, posing surgery-related risks onto the patients. This feasibility study aimed at developing a workup for soft-tissue reconstruction using clinical imagin...
