	Premium Jaundice
Premium Jaundice brings together three factors found to be effective with jaundiced bodies. 1) It contains a chemical which bleaches the color of bilirubin, the pigment responsible for the yellowing of the tissue. 2) It contains a generous quantity of agents designed to promote distribution throughout the body, and thus facilitate the flushing of yellow pigmentations from the body. 3) It also contains a low level of formaldehyde (8 index) so that large volumes of diluted fluid can effectively be used to flush the body. In addition Premium Jaundice contains a special chemical to counter the effect of formaldehyde on bilirubin, which many embalmers feel is the cause of the "green" bodies which sometimes develop after embalming. While large volumes of diluted fluid can be injected, water-logging is not a problem because of the moisture balancing chemicals formulated into Premium Jaundice. Inject Premium Jaundice at 4 to 8 ounces per gallon. Use a sufficient number of gallons to completely flush the body. Intermittent drainage is recommended to assist the flushing process. A higher index arterial fluid can be injected at the end of the flushing process if further preservation is felt to be necessary. Thoroughly wash the face and other exposed areas of the body with soap and water to remove the yellow pigmentation that has surfaced. Some embalmers prefer to use a mild phenol solution to help bleach the yellowing that may have surfaced. Rose Colortone can be added to the diluted arterial injection fluid to counter any remaining yellow color. View Catalog  Order now
	Solvol
When a mild fluid is needed to flush out the arterial system, Frigid recommends Solvol pre-injection fluid. A 6 index fluid, Solvol is excellent for clearing the body to allow for better distribution and penetration of an arterial fluid. Special ingredients help prevent water-logging sometimes associated with pre-injections, and also help to remove discoloration. In addition to its use as a pre-injection, Solvol is useful as a bleaching agent. It penetrates readily into the affected tissue and remarkably reduces the objectionable discoloration. Because of its low formaldehyde content and proper modifiers, Solvol is an excellent fluid for embalming infants. The delicate tissue receives adequate preservative in an overall mild formulation. If death is due to contagious disease or has involved renal failure, a higher index fluid would be advisable. As a pre-injection use Solvol at a dilution of 6 to 8 ounces per gallon. Use 1/2 to 1 gallon of diluted fluid to clear the body, and then continue with arterial fluid injection. As a bleach Solvol may be injected hypodermically into the affected area or may be used in a pack over the area. Packs should be covered with plastic to improve penetration into the tissue and to control fumes. View Catalog  Order now
	Stop
Stop is the chemical of choice for controlling tissue gas. Composed of two powerful disinfectants with the ability to penetrate deeply and rapidly, Stop gets to the source of tissue gas easily. Once in contact with the anaerobic bacteria which causes tissue gas, Stop destroys the bacteria and eliminates further tissue gas spread, decomposition, and odor formation. A special additive in Stop provides a lubricating effect to the tissue. It does not dry out or become brittle as can happen with products somewhat similar to Stop. For cases where maggots or other insects have infested the remains, a simple application of Stop will kill all of this type of vermin. Stop can penetrate through tissue and into tiny cracks to the pests. Once in contact with the insects, Stop kills them quickly. The potential for vermin-caused embarrassment is eliminated.

	Leak Guard
Leak Guard is a unique supplemental fluid designed to prevent leakage of body fluids and to pull excessive moisture from the body. Leak Guard combines an effective pore closer with a proven moisture reducer and tissue hardener. Badly bloated bodies frequently leak through the pores complicating their preservation and the lay-out procedure. Leak Guard closes pores from within so that pore leakage is eliminated. At the same time Leak Guard helps remove excessive moisture from the tissue and firms it. To assist the preservation of the body a non-formaldehyde (glutaraldehyde), but powerful, disinfectant is included so that Leak Guard can be injected directly into tissue as well as used in conjunction with an arterial fluid. Frigid Fluid recommends that Leak Guard be used with the last gallon or two of diluted fluid. It should be added to the dilution water at 8 to 10 ounces per gallon, followed by 5 to 10 ounces per gallon of arterial fluid. For optimal disinfection 4 to 6 ounces of Water/Clot Guard should be added after the arterial fluid. Injection is best at a low pressure and modest flow rate using a pulsator. As each case will vary according to the condition of the body, the above recommendations can be altered as professional judgment dictates. Leak Guard can also be used to enhance the firming action of cavity fluids and autopsy compounds. It is compatible with fluids containing less than 20% alcohols. View Catalog  Order now
	Water/Clot Guard
For outstanding control of hard water salts, Water/Clot Guard is the choice. Frequently the cause of a blotchy appearance and the fading of color, hard water that exceeds 80 ppm calcium carbonate cannot be neutralized by the chemicals in arterial fluid alone. A product such as Water/Clot Guard must be added to counter the effects of the hard water. Hard water salts work against the embalmer in several ways. They react with some of the dyes frequently used in arterial fluids to reduce or eliminate their color. The salts also react with many of the anionic surfactants used in arterials so that the improved distribution and penetration brought about by these chemicals is lost. A blotchy body is the result because of poor distribution of the fluid and its dyes. Because Water/Clot Guard neutralizes calcium salts it also prevents further clotting of the blood and helps to break up clots and congealed blood. Calcium ion is required for blood clotting. Water/Clot Guard chemically ties up calcium so that further clotting cannot occur. In addition to its ability to counter the effects of hard water salts and prevent clotting, Water/Clot Guard has the ability to activate glutaraldehyde. Glutaraldehyde functions best at a pH of 8 to 8.5. Water/Clot Guard, because of the alkaline nature of its components, can raise the pH of the mix to which it is added into the proper pH range. The result is activation of the glutaraldehyde and improved fluid function because of softer water and clot control. Water/Clot Guard should be used at 2 to 4 ounces per gallon of diluted arterial fluid for both formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde containing fluids. It is best to add the Water/Clot Guard first to the dilution fluid, then add the arterial fluid. When used with Frigid's Leak Guard, use Water/Clot Guard at one half the number of ounces of Leak Guard to activate the glutaraldehyde. View Catalog  Order now
	Rose Colortone Dye
Rose Colortone Dye is a concentrated dye additive to be used when additional color is desired during arterial injection. This special blend of dyes is a staining system so the resultant pink color can be expected to be retained by the tissue over a period of time. Rose Colortone is not just a tracer dye designed to indicate only the distribution of the fluid although it will perform that function as well. Rose Colortone is compatible with any arterial fluid. Since Rose Colortone is a concentrated dye system it is recommended that the embalmer start with 1 capful of dye in the diluted arterial fluid and then add additional dye if needed.

	Humectant
For cases showing signs of dehydration the co-injection to choose is Humectant. An emulsion of several special oils and moisturizing agents, Humectant helps to fill sallow tissue and return a life-like appearance and skin texture. Wrinkling is controlled and a proper moisture level is restored. The moisture loving chemicals in Humectant work to prevent further dehydration by retarding the escape of water from surface tissues and restoring the moisture level in deeper tissues. In addition to its ability to rehydrate tissue, Humectant modifies the harsh action of formaldehyde and softens the color of the dyes used in arterial fluids. A more pliable and life-like tissue results with an excellent cosmetic effect. For superior results use 2 to 6 ounces of Humectant in each gallon of diluted arterial fluid. On normal bodies Humectant can be used at 1 to 4 ounces per gallon of diluted arterial fluid to enhance the tissue feel and cosmetic effect, and to retard moisture loss. View Catalog  Order now
	Plasma Flo
For embalming bodies when congealed and clotted blood is anticipated, Plasma Flo is the chemical of choice. For many years embalmers have relied on the excellent way Plasma Flo helps to clear and prepare the vascular system for optimum fluid distribution and penetration. Its special alkaline formula loosens and breaks up coagulated blood so that drainage can be established even in difficult cases such as burned or frozen bodies, or when extensive chemotherapy has taken place. Plasma Flo, as a co-injection fluid, can be used with all aldehyde type arterials to enhance and improve drainage, distribution, and penetration.. The overall result is an even cosmetic effect and less harsh action by the arterial fluid. Plasma Flo should be used at 8 ounces per half gallon as a pre-injection fluid. In hard water areas, the action of Plasma Flo can be enhanced by the addition of 2 to 4 ounces of Water/Clot Guard. As a co-injection, use Plasma Flo at 2 to 8 ounces per gallon of diluted arterial fluid. Use 2 ounces with cases where light clotting is expected or when a mild, well-balanced arterial is being used. Use 4 or more ounces where heavier clotting is expected or observed and/or when a more harsh arterial is being used. View Catalog  Order now
	Free-Flo
A unique co-injection, Free Flo is especially designed to improve distribution and drainage by freeing capillaries of congealing blood. Free Flo, when used with an arterial fluid, markedly improves the ability of the diluted arterial to displace the blood and allow the preservative chemical to do its work. Because Free Flo enhances the distribution of the arterial into all areas of the body, there results a more uniformly embalmed body and a more even dye coloration on the surface of the body. A mildly alkaline chemical, Free Flo buffers the arterial to an effective pH - no more gray bodies. Its special components also act to soften the potentially harsh effects of formaldehyde apparent in some arterials. This gives the body a more natural feel, and helps it retain a proper moisture level. To improve drainage and arterial distribution, use 2 to 8 ounces of Free Flo in the first gallon of diluted arterial fluid. To take advantage of Free Flo's buffering and modifying effects, use 1 to 4 ounces in subsequent gallons of diluted arterial. View Catalog  Order now
