There are two treatment methods: chemistry and physics. In terms of corrosion protection, there are corrosion protection, common corrosion protection or simple corrosion protection. Slice-level antisepsis is mainly used in medical teaching and scientific research, and the requirements for medical identification of corpses when abnormal deaths are involved are also very high, and general corpse preservation is our common and commonly used physical antisepsis.

Chemical corrosion protection mainly uses preservatives. At present, the commonly used preservatives mainly include alcohol, glycerol, carbolic acid, aldehydes and phenols. Some researchers also use rare earths or salts containing heavy metals such as mercury and benzene to prevent corrosion. Due to the limitations of their own properties, characteristics and methods of use, chemical antiseptic drugs are mostly mixed with various drugs to achieve better antiseptic effect.

Such as formaldehyde, has a good antiseptic effect, but has a strong pungent smell, which can induce insomnia, bronchitis, cancer, leukemia, fetal malformation and so on. According to Liu Haiming, unmarried men and women are not recommended to engage in this kind of work for a long time, and pregnant or pregnant friends should pay special attention.

Physical preservation refers to freezing the corpse to prevent it from corruption and is suitable for short-term preservation. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to embalm the remains that died normally and were cremated within three days, and the production and use of preservatives will also cause different degrees of pollution to the environment.

In fact, the market-oriented trend of funeral may force family members to choose simple injection antisepsis (also known as local antisepsis) on the grounds of interest acquisition and risk transfer.

For corpses that need to be preserved for a long time, it is necessary to use the method of whole body perfusion with antiseptic solution, but this method needs to be cut.

The purpose of incision is to promote blood flow, and at the same time, accelerate the full and even distribution of antiseptic solution in the body with the help of bucket or pump, and the antiseptic effect is better. However, corpses with high requirements such as medical research sometimes need multiple incisions to ensure good antiseptic effect.

Personally, I have always felt that I would rather give up embalming if they were embalmed in order to restore their skin color and state before their death. From a psychological point of view, I can't stand poisoning my relatives, even if I am cremated in a short time, I don't want to make my relatives suffer more.

Because the corpses of different causes of death are different, the methods used should be different, so the operator needs to judge according to the actual situation, which requires the master to impart experience and sum up his own practices.

In addition, anti-corrosion is the disposal of the body. At present, most of our areas have not released the right of private disposal of corpses. Therefore, most of the anti-corrosion business is currently carried out in civil affairs subordinate units such as funeral parlours and funeral service centers, which means that the counterpart units of this major are funeral parlours and other units that can handle corpses.

The actual work situation of this major is something you should know before choosing this major, such as low pay, the harmfulness of drugs, the risks brought by anti-corrosion effect, great pressure, limited work units, small business volume and little demand for talents.

According to reports, our anti-corrosion masters include Shi Jumei from Suzhou, Shen Xianding from Shanghai, Xu from Hangzhou Funeral Home, Xia Kaibao from Nanjing, Gu Zhonghai from Wuxi (deceased), Xia Hairong from Wenling and Yu Ting from Wuxi. (Not all listed, in no particular order). If you meet the above masters, or can get their guidance, your skills will improve faster.

Plastic surgery can be divided into autogenous deformity (repair) and exogenous deformity (reconstruction) according to the condition of the corpse. Autogenous deformity is relatively simple, while exogenous deformity needs to be treated to be close to the shape before death, and the difficulty is gradually increasing from correction, suture, connection to repair.

We often say that plastic surgery refers to plastic surgery, especially head surgery, which is extremely difficult. Traditional restoration is to mold part or all of it with plasticine or plaster, which is basically done by trained funeral workers. It's just a similar problem after molding.

A few years ago, 3D technology was applied in the funeral industry, and the lifelike effect of 3D made me feel the power of technology again. However, the cost of 3D technology is high, and the lack of equipment leads to the increase of production time. At present, its popularity is very low. But what is certain is that 3D technology has been applied to head plastic surgery (the actual operation cannot be released due to privacy issues).

According to Liu Haiming, few people have studied plastic surgery in recent years, and the training courses are full. In fact, there are few cases of plastic surgery, especially the shaping of the head. It is rare to meet 1-2 in one place every year. Perhaps the lack of practical opportunities has given birth to the training class fever, which is also related to the high income of cosmetic surgery.

I have encountered a case of head and body parts missing before, which took 4-6 people 12 hours to complete. After they finished, they just sat on the ground to rest, and even had no strength to stand!

But as an operator, the new undertaker doesn't care about his own division, but races against time, operates with high intensity and meticulous care until his family members are satisfied. This kind of effort is respect for their families, the deceased, the cause and themselves.

Liu Haiming mentioned Wang Gang in Shanghai, Xu Jun in Shanghai Baoxing, and Changshu. If you meet them, please ask the teacher for guidance, and you can also ask the master for on-site guidance if you have the opportunity.

In addition to plastic surgery, makeup is also a part of it. Compared with plastic surgery, the requirements for makeup are extremely high, so every deceased needs makeup. And the overall difficulty of makeup is lower than that of cosmetic surgery, so I won't go into details here.

In a word, anti-corrosion and plastic surgery are highly technical services in funeral and interment, and operators need to constantly learn by themselves and improve their skills. In addition to the necessary theoretical knowledge, we should practice it ourselves.
