Use of plastinated specimens in rural medical and nursing education: a novel solution.

چکیده
Rural health care in India is predominantly served by primary and secondary hospitals. Secondary hospitals that have been running long term usually have a nursing school attached to them to provide a sustainable workforce of nurses. Thus, the nursing school becomes an integral component of a secondary hospital structure. The training of nurses includes a course on basic human anatomy. Although nursing schools attached to medical colleges rely on the availability of fresh cadavers or formalin-preserved prosected specimens, the permission to procure such specimens and the facilities to store them are difficult to obtain in a rural setting.

متن کاملPlastination of Upper And Lower Limbs with Injection of Colored Polymer into the Arteries
Purpose: Plastination is a unique technique of tissue preservation developed by Dr Gunther von hagnes in Hidelberg, Germany in 1978. In this process water and lipids are replaced by curable polymers (silicon, polyester, epoxy) which are subsequently hardened, resulting in dry, odorless and durable specimens. The aim of this study was to prepare plastinated specimen of upper and lower limbs by i...
