The technique of plastination requires the handling of chemical agents not normally encountered by anatomic preparators. Material safety data sheets that come with these chemicals provide limited information regarding potential toxic effects following skin, inhalational or other exposures to these compounds. Biodur™ SlO-type silicones that are commonly used in plastination are polydialkyl siloxanes and are widely used in industry. A review of chemical safety sheets from industrial sources that produce such siloxanes suggests limited toxic effects associated with handling these agents. In contrast, a variety of adverse chemical effects including skin hypersensitivity-type responses have been associated with use of Biodur™ S6 and Biodur™ S3-like compounds. Epoxy resins commonly used by plastinators are well-recognized skin, eye and mucous membrane irritants and have been associated with allergic skin responses. Such toxic effects associated with the more common plastination chemicals are discussed in this paper.

Tendon sheaths are complex tubes wrapped completely around tendons. They are placed between two movable tissues to diminish friction when tendons pass either under ligaments or retinacula or pass through fascial slings or osseofibrous tunnels. The aim of this study was to show that the El2 plastination technique is a useful research tool for demonstrating different anatomical structures, e.g. tendon sheaths in the talocrural region. Tendon sheaths were injected with Xantopren® blue and plastinated via the E12 plastination procedure. Finally, the cured specimens were cut with a diamond wire saw into slices of 200um thick. We found that tendon sheaths in the talocrural region do not enclose tendons like a cylinder. They mimic an elongated bursa that minimizes friction between tendons and retinacula.

This work examines the efficiency of a modified room-temperature plastination technique for preserving prenatal spinal cord morphology by assessing changes in prenatal cord length in human fetuses before and after plastination. Changes in cord length were correlated to fetal age, gender and ethnicity. Gross morphological features of the spinal cord preserved by this technique were clearly recognizable. Statistically significant shortening of spinal cords (p< 0.05) resulted when using this plastination technique. Differences in spinal cord and crown-rump lengths in relation to age were also significant. However, crown-rump length did not change significantly after plastination. Also, length changes in relation to gender and ethnicity were not significant.

The technique of plastination often requires handling organs and tissues of human or animal origin. An ongoing concern associated with the plastination process has been risk of contracting infectious pathogens as the preparator works with such tissues. Human pathogens, including the agent causing Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) or the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and animal pathogens that affect humans (e.g., rabies virus, E. coli bacteria) have been of particular concern. This paper provides an overview of several viral and bacterial pathogens that may be of concern to plastinators as well as recommended methodologies for avoiding infection by these agents.

A comparative study of spinal connective tissue and its structural arrangement was carried out using tissue preserved in epoxy resin plastinated slices and paraffin embedded sections. The 2.5mm horizontal plastinated slices provide a more complete overview of connective tissue arrangement in the spine, including fibre arrangement, bony attachment sites and, continuity with neighbouring structures when compared with corresponding 7um paraffin embedded standard histology sections. Use of plastinated slices allows distinctive macroscopic definition of connective tissue fibre arrangement of spinal tendons, ligaments and fascia. The quality of the information obtained regarding connective tissue arrangement suggests that, for spinal research on selected dense connective tissue structure, use of epoxy plastinated slices presents an attractive alternative to conventional histology.

Human brain slices, 4mm thick, were plastinated using methanol (methyl alcohol) as the dehydration medium instead of acetone. The slices were processed using the standard P40 technique and it was established that the use of methanol as a dehydration medium would not generate problems in plastination of brain slices. Some particularities are to be regarded only in the impregnation phase of the plastination process.

In the last centuries, teaching of anatomy required anatomical models because of the lack of satisfactory preservation techniques. These models had to meet many requirements: they should be as realistic as possible, not too delicate, contain some movable parts, and not be too expensive. Many different kinds of materials have been used in that aim. Nowadays, most of these models are rightly regarded as masterpieces which paved the way for current anatomical teaching. One of their major defaults was the lack of authenticity: in some ways, this last step was cleared by the invention of plastination some twenty years ago.
