JPH1045501A - Method for cleanly embalming dead body - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for cleanly embalming a dead body which can keep the dead body in the state similar to that of a living body for a long period of time by easily treating the dead body without almost injuring it. SOLUTION: This method comprises supplying a liquefied cold gas to a dead body from its opening part, for example, the mouth and the like. As the liquefied cold gas, liquefied carbon dioxide gas is generally used to form snow dry ice in the body. By jetting the liquefied gas under high pressure, residual and filth which remain in the dead body and cause the decay are eliminated from the rectum and the like to clean the dead body. Further, the gas filled in the body permeates rapidly into the whole muscle to cause sterilization and bacteriostasis in the intesltine and contributes to purifying and preservating the body for a long period of time. On the other hand, the snow dry ice extends every nook and corner in the testine and causes rapid cooling and simultaneously exchanges rapidly heat in the body to keep the temperature of the body at low temperature of several degrees of centigrade.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for preserving a corpse, and more particularly to a method for preserving a corpse for cleaning the inside of the corpse and keeping the corpse in a state close to before life for a long time. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to store a corpse for a long period of time, generally,
A method of cooling the casket is adopted, but in Europe and the like, a special process called embossing is often performed in order to keep the corpse in a state close to the state before birth. This embossing is to open the carotid artery of the neck and carotid of the inguinal region, and to put a preservative colored red from the neck to allow blood to flow out of the inguinal region and to preserve all blood vessels. This is a technique of filling the blood vessel with a red preservative, so that the blood vessel can be maintained in a state close to its prenatal state. Similarly, the abdomen can be preserved by taking out internal organs and adding preservatives, etc., but it requires not only highly advanced technology but also costs more than 100 million yen to set up facilities, so general is not.

[0003]

As described above, practical use of embossing for long-term preservation of a corpse by processing the inside of the corpse requires a high level of technology and a large amount of capital investment. In addition to the fact that it is not generally available, the process involves opening the abdomen to scrape the painful organs and filling them, which is inconvenient for the bereaved family. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for preserving a corpse in a clean state that can scarcely damage the corpse and that can be maintained for a long period of time in a state close to that of a living body by a simple process.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problem by providing a method for preserving a corpse in which the liquefied cooling gas is supplied into the corpse from an opening such as an oral cavity. As a liquefied cooling gas, liquefied carbon dioxide gas is usually used, and snow-dry ice is generated in the body.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the method for preserving a corpse according to the present invention, liquefied cooling gas is supplied from an opening such as an oral cavity, and the opening referred to here is an existing one such as an oral cavity, a nose, an ear, an anus, etc. Not only that, but also includes openings such as visceral ruptures formed by incisions or the like or caused by accidents or the like. The liquefied gas is injected at a high pressure into the body of a corpse through a gas injection nozzle having a special structure, that is, a shape corresponding to an oral cavity, a nose, or the like serving as an insertion port.

As a liquefied gas, nitrogen gas may be used, but liquefied carbon dioxide gas is usually used from the viewpoint of easy handling. In the case of liquefied carbon dioxide, a part is converted to snow-dry ice (snow-like dry ice) after being injected at high pressure,
It fills all the organs communicating with the respiratory esophagus.

[0007] Since the human body is a so-called giant tubular body, the high-pressure injection of the liquefied gas discharges the residue, dirt, and the like remaining in the body and causing decay from the rectum and the like to be cleaned. Further, the gas filled in the body rapidly permeates throughout the muscle while causing sterilization and bacteriostatic action in the intestinal cavity, and contributes to long-term storage together with cleaning. On the other hand, snow
The dry ice spreads to every corner of the intestinal cavity and causes a quenching effect. At the same time, heat exchange is rapidly performed from the inside of the human body, and thereafter, the temperature of the body is kept at a low temperature of several degrees Celsius.

The lungs, stomach and intestines are temporarily inflated with the injection of the liquefied gas. However, the gas is accelerated out of the body by pressing the corpse by hand, and when the injection of the gas is stopped. Return to normal status. By changing the direction of the injection nozzle, liquefied gas can be sent to the brain to generate snow-dry ice.

Further, a blood vessel (usually a carotid artery) is incised, and a red or near-colored gas or a coloring gas is supplied from the incised blood vessel to make the body reddish and a flesh color close to that of before birth. Means for causing expression may be used in combination.
The coloring gas referred to here means, for example, a gas packaging gas mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas for maintaining the meat color (red color) and freshness of raw meat (particularly beef). Also, the fragrance gas may be supplied from the opening or the blood vessel.

As described above, the method according to the present invention is intended for long-term storage by cooling the corpse from the inside. Needless to say, this method alone can be put to practical use. The method (especially, a method of cooling the inside of a casket using a liquefied gas, which is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 8-1500071 of the present applicant, is provided with a liquefied gas supply space for generating snow-dry ice in the casket). Recommended) may be used together.

When the body is damaged due to an accident such as rupture of the internal organs, the operation of removing the internal organs and filling the body may be involved. can do.

[0012]

The present invention is as described above. In the method for preserving a corpse according to the present invention, even if the corpse is touched by hand, the incision and the removal of internal organs as in embalming are performed. No work is required, and the effects of liquefied gas, especially liquefied carbon dioxide, such as freshness control, temperature control, sterilization and bactericidal action, etc. are exhibited by the simplest technique, and the internal residue is discharged by gas pressure. It is very useful because it can cleanse the corpse and can be stored for a long time in a state close to life.

Further, the method according to the present invention is very simple,
It is possible to work in a short time without needing any skill, the work cost is low, the capital investment is not much, and there is no risk of damaging the bereaved family because it scarcely damages the body. Can be widely spread.
