Embalming Instruments.
Much can be accomplished in restoring and retaining the natural
appearance and color of the exposed portions of a dead body, and
decomposition can be retarded for a time by using the Preservative
freely externally and without the aid of instruments, wetting clothes
with it and applying to the face, neck, and hands to restore and retain
their natural color, and also over the bowels where decomposition first
sets in, which application will delay its progress for a time, as the
Preservative is very penetrating, but a good set of Embalming
instruments are almost indispensable for every undertaker to be
possessed of, as there will often be cases where there is a necessity
for cavity injection to hold the body a number of days for the arrival
of distant friends, and occasionally for Arterial Embalming for shipment
to long distances.
It would be out of place for us to advertise our Instruments in a work
of this kind, and we would simply say that we invite correspondence in
regard to Instruments desirable for use. We would prefer to supply our
customers with a good set of Instruments at a nominal price to cover the
cost of manufacture rather than to have them remain without them or be
using inferior ones, as the best results in Embalming are attained only
with the best tools which rule holds good in every kind of work.
We have on hand Instruments of every description for every kind of
Embalming work, from sets consisting of those used only for partial
embalming, up to complete sets in elegant Cabinets with every tool
required for any purpose. Our syringe has a screw fitting turned on the
suction end so that any of the tubes or the Gas-trocar can be fitted on
and collections of fluid in the body pumped out with it.
All the tubes and the Gas-trocar are nickel plated and non-corrosive,
and we would call especial attention to our improved Gas-trocar which is
the most complete tool of its kind ever manufactured being superior to
any other as it is so constructed that it will not clog.
Sets of Instruments will be sent to our customers on approval if
desired.
