  • Patent number: 5697132
    Abstract: An automated system and method are provided for continuous-flow delivery of a desired mixture of embalming chemicals and water to a cadaver. The invention may be used with any liquid that has substantially the same viscosity as water. At least two embalming chemical concentrates of a plurality of different embalming chemicals are selectively delivered to a mixing manifold via at least two primary fluid conduits, for continuous mixing with a continuous flow of water through the manifold. The resulting embalming chemical and water mixture is delivered to the cadaver. Proportional quantities of chemicals and water flowing through the mixing manifold are metered by proportional flow valves for accurate mixing and dilution of the chemicals. A microprocessor controller is programmed to control the flow and the rate of flow of chemicals and water through the mixing manifold and the fluid conduits. The invention further provides for automated aspiration of and delivery of cavity fluids to the cadaver.
