There are 02 Corpse Preservation freezer Lockers (each can store 10 cadavers). These cadavers are used to preserve cadavers at 0 to +2C after injecting a Phenoxyethanol - ethanol mixture into the cadaver. This phenoxyethanol - ethanol-based cadaver embalming technique can preserve the cadaver while maintaining the tissue's good quality and giving it a life-like appearance. These types of cadavers are preferred by surgeons to conduct surgical hands-on training workshops.
Recently the Department of Anatomy has conducted many workshops such as two organ transplant workshops, arthroscopy of knee and shoulder (1st time in Sri Lanka), hand and breast flap surgeries(in plastic surgery sessions), abdominal surgery demonstration (Whipple procedure), AO CMF Course—Advances in TMJ Surgery and Management of TMJ Disorders and etc
These workshops generated new pieces of knowledge, gave access to cadaver training for non-university medical and para-medical staff, and served as an income-generating source for the faculty
Therefore these coolers are essential equipments in cadaver preservation anatomy wet lab

Description | Formaldehyde is "carcinogenic to humans" based on sufficient evidence it can cause nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia. Currently the Department of Anatomy, FMS,USJ is shifting away from the tradional Formaldehyde based cadaver preservation to non Formaldehyde based cadaver preserrvation to minimise the exposure to the Formaldehyde. Cadavers are preserved using a non-formaline - Phenoxyethanol‐based embalming technique for the trainings to improve practical skills or learn new surgical techniques through interactive case discussions and an open approach to innovations and the introduction of new techniques among surgeons and surgical trainees. |
