| 20090064474 | Bio-bones prosthetic system for tissue donor cadavers - The bio-bones prosthetics are designed to replace harvested bones from deceased tissue donors. Rigid bone replacement prosthetics offer structure and fill voids to provide a normal appearance to the donor. Each of the bio-bones prosthetics consist of rigid telescopic tubes, manufactured from bone colored polylactic acid, a biodegradeable material, making them ideal for both cremation and burial. They are extruded in slightly oval form, with the smaller units sliding inside the larger tubes, to provide continuous adjustment in length. A simple twist of the inner unit locks them in place. No foreign objects are need to secure them in place. This prevents any injuries to the users or cause any protrusions in the donors skin. The tubes are moldable, both prior to recovery and on-site allowing for a custom fit. Molded attachments are provided to secure the prosthetics in place. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20140123451 | STEAMATORY, METHOD OF USE, AND MANUFACTURE - A steamatory is used to prepare a body for burial. A chamber has a door for accepting the body. A tray is partially removable from the chamber through the door. A plurality of steam ports are connected to an interior surface of the chamber. A steam generator provides steam to the plurality of steam ports within the chamber. The steam injected into the chamber causes tissue of the body to separate from bone structure. The tray is made with a wire mesh having openings through which the tissue of body falls after separation from the bone structure. A funnel connected to a lower portion of the chamber channels the tissue after falling through the wire mesh of the tray to a container. The steam injected into the chamber maintains moisture content of the bone structure. | 05-08-2014 |
| 20150067998 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING HUMAN REMAINS BY CHILLING - A method of treating human remains prior to burial or other means of disposal comprises the steps of freezing the remains and size reducing the remains to particulate matter. The freezing step includes the steps of placing the remains in a freezing chamber, charging the chamber with a gas, and circulating the gas in a loop between the freezing chamber and a cooling device. The gas cooling device is adapted to cool the gas to a temperature below −100° C. while maintaining the gas in a gaseous form. The gas cooling device may include a heatsink and a means for cooling the heatsink, wherein the circulating gas is cooled by being brought into contact with the heatsink. | 03-12-2015 |
| 027220100 | Embalming process or composition | 7 |
| 20110167601 | RESTORATION/EMBALMING KIT - A two-part system for the restoration and preservation of a deceased's limbs where the deceased was a donor of one or more long bones includes a procurement kit and an embalmer's kit. The procurement kit includes at least one absorbent pad, an artificial artery and a clamp for sealing an end of the artery. The procurement team secures the artificial artery from the kit in the deceased's affected limb such that an open end of the artery is accessible to the embalmer eliminating the need for the embalmer to re-open the limb during the embalming procedure. The embalmer's kit includes materials for completing the preservation of the limb, including an absorbent stockinette, an absorbent garment such as a stocking or a sleeve, and a fluid-impermeable plastic garment. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20120167360 | POST MORTEM SHEET AND METHOD - A method for closing and sealing wounds and incisions in a body during transport to a funeral home, for example, from a post mortem medical facility, without the use of stitches, includes closing and sealing the wounds and/or incisions with adhesive sheets. A sheet having an adhesive disposed substantially on an inner side of the sheet is dispensed and placed over a portion of the incision with the adhesive facing a direction of the body. The sheet is then adhered to the body on both sides of the incision such that the incision is closed and sealed from leakage of fluids. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120311832 | Chemical Preservation of Corpses - Embodiments of the invention generally relate to methods, systems, and apparatus for the chemical preservation of dead bodies. While pumping embalming fluid in to the corpse, waste fluids such as blood may simultaneously be pumped out of the corpse to facilitate better distribution of embalming fluid and drainage of the waste fluids. | 12-13-2012 |
| 20140020220 | CRITICAL POINT DRYING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IN SITU TISSUE PRESERVATION - Methods and systems for preserving tissues in situ using critical point drying are disclosed. Such methods and systems are particularly applicable to the preservation of a deceased body, such as a deceased person or animal, with or without removal of internal tissues or organs. A fixative can be perfused through the vascular system of the body while blood is removed from the body. The exterior of the body can also be immersed in a bath of fixative. The fixative in the vascular system and the bath can be replaced by subsequent washes of buffer, de-ionized water, and/or alcohol. The alcohol-infused and fixated body can be disposed in a pressure chamber and subjected to a critical point drying process using carbon dioxide. After the critical point drying process, the body is in a preserved state. | 01-23-2014 |
