Jelly Wax an Alternative to Resin for Sheet Plastination
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Plastinationcan be used for anatomy, art, biology, clinical medicine, surgery and many fields. Semitransparent 3-5 mm brain sections can display distinct grey and white matter by using jelly wax. It can be an excellent aid to compare X-rays, CT, MRI and Ultrasonography. The jelly wax sheet plastination can also be used for sections of any organ or part of the body other than brain. Jelly wax is a type of paraffin wax which is cheap and easily available in the local market. Since it need not be imported which would be more costly, it is most suitable for developing countries and can overcome the use of resin imported from the western world. The sheet plastinated sections can be preserved for many years without the change of color.
