Walter Thiel's Embalming Method: Review of Solutions and Applications in Different Fields of Biomedical Research

Walter Thiel developed the method that enables preservation of the body with natural colors in 1992. It consists in the application of an intravascular injection formula, and maintaining the corps submerged for a determinate period of time in the immersion solution in the pool. After immersion, it i...
