Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Plastination is a specialised technique used for soft tissue preservation. It was developed by Gunther von Hagens in 1977. Plastinated specimens presents advantages over other methods of preservation because they exhibit precise anatomical features. They are clean, dry and easy to handle. Plastinated specimens are developed by using acid curing polymer technique. Plastination is a very easy method for preservation of soft parts in their dried and original form for a very long time. Plastinated specimens serves as a great aid for understanding anatomy of different organs in their original form with any disturbance of smell
