Description
Patented Nov. 29, 1932 ERLING H. HAAIBESTAD, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO HYDROL CHEMICAL COMPANY, INC., OF PHILADELPHIA,
OF PENNSYLVANIA TISSUE FILLER No Drawing.
The present invention relates to an improved solidifying chemical solution for use as a tissue filler in connection with the treatment of corpses.
It is well known that bodies of human beings after death, in many instances, are emaciated. Even before death the person may be emaciated, and in such instances after death it is very much more pronounced. This condition varies, it depending largely upon the plish this result it is necessary to cause the tissues to stand out firmly and in such a way as not to distort the features any more than possible.
It is the pur ose of the present invention to provide a soli ifying solution which when injected by any suitable device such as a hypodermic syringe, will solidify upon contact with the tissue fluids in the body and the head, particularly the face, and cause the tis- 5 sues to stand out firmly.
Such a solution may be made from a cellulosic material dissolved in a highly-water soluble solvent as, for example, nitro-cellulose dissolved in methanol, eth l acetate, or ethylene glycol monomethyl et e'r. Cellulose acetate dissolved in acetone is also of a character which will solidify on contact with water, as are various solutions of gum, etc.
This solidifying solution when injected hypodermically into dead bodies of humans will, when coming in contact with the water in the body, solidify and produce firm tissues. In treating a body it is well known that after extracting the blood the water in the body 0 will settle to the back and it is the aim to inject the solution before the water really drains to the back of the body. If it is found that the water has drained to the back before the solution is injected, the body may be turned over face down and-left in this-posi- Application filed April-24, 1931. Serial No. 582,710.
-PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION BEISSUED tion to allow the water to settle toward the front. Then it is turned back, and at the proper time the solution is injected, before the water had time to drain again to the back of the body. The solution is used more in the head, so as to build up the tissues and make them stand out firmly, and in such manner as to retain the facial expressions and features as nearly natural as possible.
It is to be understood that the particulars herein given are in no way limitative, and that while still keeping within the scope of the invention, any desired modification of details and proportions may be made in the solution according to circumstances.
In using this solution in dead bodies of humans it is obvious that water may be injected into the flesh tissues either before, or simultaneously with the injection of the solution, or subsequently thereto in order to cause immediate or simultaneous solidification of the solution. In injecting water simultaneously with the solution it is possible to use a double hypodermic needle.
The invention having been set forth, what is claimed is:
1. A tissue filler for corpses comprisin a solution of normally water insoluble cel ulosic material in a highly water soluble solvent of the character of methanol, such solution being hypodermically injectible into (is sues of an emaciated corpse to precipitate said cellulos'ic material by solution of said water soluble solvent in the tissue fluids and thereby build up said tissues.
2. A tissue filler for corpses comprising a solution of nitro cellulose in methanol, such solution being hypodermically injectible into tissues of an emaciated corpse to precipitate said nitro-cellulose' by solution of said methanol in the tissue fluids and thereby build up said tissues.
3. The method of building u tissues of an emaciated corpse which inclu es injecting sub-cutaneously' a solution of normally water insoluble cellulosic material in a readily water soluble solvent and allowing the solution to contact with the tissues whereby the solvent disperses in the tissues to precipitate a readily moldable tissue filler.
4. The method of building up tissues of an emaciated corpse which includes injecting sub-cutaneously a solution of nitro-cellulose in methanol and allowing the solution to contact with the tissues whereby the methanol disperses in the tissues to precipitate the nitro-cellulose which constitutes a readily moldable tissue filler.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
