(46 cards)
The force required to distribute the embalming solution throughout the body. multiple ones
Pressure machines
Apparatus that is connected to the water supply when the water is turned on, suction is developed and is used to aspirate the contents of the body’s cavities.
Hydro aspirator
Device that uses a motor to create a suction for the purpose of aspiration.
Electric Aspirator
Apparatus used to inject arterial fluid during the vascular arterial phase of the embalming process. Relies on gravity to create the pressure required to deliver the fluid (0.43 pounds of pressure per 1 foot of elevation).
Gravity Injector
Historical instrument resembling a large hypodermic syringe attached to a bottle apparatus. Used to create either pressure for injection or vacuum for aspiration.
Hand pump
Self-contained, soft rubber manual pump designed to create pressure to deliver fluid as it passes through one-way valves located within the bulb. It is used only to deliver fluids it cannot be used for aspiration.
Bulb syringe
Electrically heated blade that maybe used to dry moist tissue, and restore contour.
Electric spatula
Lifting devices that are useful for moving the deceased from the removal cot to embalming table, from table to dresser table, placement in casket and more.
Body lifts
Over or appliance for sterilizing. An auto clave that sterilizes by steam under pressure at temperatures above 100*C.
Sterilizers
Preparation room equipment for properly positioning bodies before, during and after vascular embalming.
Positioning devices
A table bodies are placed on to be disinfected, cleaned and embalmed.
Embalming tables.
tables bodies are placed on for dressing, makeup and hair
Dressing tables
place to store bodies before during and after embalming.
Refrigeration
Occupational safety and health administration required receptacles for proper disposal of sharps.
Sharps container
Tube used to inject embalming solution into the blood vascular system.
Arterial tubes
Mechanical device used to impel specially designed metal pins into bones.
Needle injector
Two-piece embalming instrument consisting of a handle and a blade used to make incisions and excisions.
Scalpel
An embalming instrument that is used for blunt dissection and in Rasing vessels.
Aneurysm
is a curved cutting instrument that cuts from the inside outward. It can also be used for excision of tissues.
Bistoury knife
Used for cutting like the bistoury knife and scalpel, they can also be used to open arteries and veins.
Scissors
is used to expand a vein to help guide a drain tube or draining device such as angular spring forceps into a vein for drainage.
Ground Director
Can be used to clamp leaking vessels. A modification is the arterial hemostat, which is used to hold the arterial tube in an artery.
Hemostats
These angular forceps have a working length of 2 1/2 to 7 inches. They are inserted much like a drain tube into a vein and directed toward the heart. They allow clots to be grasped and pulled from within a vein.
Arterial fixation forceps.
An instrument used for grasping and holding tissues.
Spring forceps
