Abstract
A disposable container is provided for storage of waste body fluids from the embalming process in a casket or coffin. The disposable container is tapered for the insertion into a coffin or casket and is vacuum tight for use during the aspiration process. A system is also provided in which the disposable container is an essential part. The system includes a vacuum pump for evacuating the disposable container during aspiration, a trolley for supporting the disposable container during aspiration and a valve for directing body fluids from the embalming table into the disposable container. A method of using the disposable container is also disclosed in which body fluids are drained into the disposable container, and the disposable container is placed in the casket or coffin for burial or cremation.
Claims16
A corpse preparation device comprising:
- a disposable container having a first end and second end, and being shaped for insertion in a coffin, and having inlet means for insertion of fluids into the disposable container:
- the disposable container tapering towards the second end and having sufficient rigidity to withstand the suction required to aspirate hollow body organs, the disposable container having outlet means for evacuation of air from the disposable container and including valve means connected to the outlet means for preventing backwash of fluids into the outlet means from the interior of the disposable container;
- and
- means disposed within the disposable container to shield the outlet means from splashes caused by insertion of fluids into the container.
A corpse preparation device comprising:
- a disposable container having a first end and second end, and being shaped for insertion in a coffin, and having inlet means for insertion of fluids into the disposable container;
- the disposable container tapering toward the second end;
- and including a portion having a lower melting point than the remainder of the container.
A corpse preparation system comprising:
- a disposable container having a first end and second end, and being shaped for insertion in a coffin, and having inlet means for insertion of fluids into the disposable container, the disposable container tapering toward the second end, having sufficient rigidity to withstand the suction required to aspirate hollow body organs and having outlet means for evacuation of air from the disposable container and including valve means connected to the outlet means for preventing backwash of fluids into the outlet means from the interior of the disposable container;
- in combination with an air pump connectable to the outlet means and aspirating means connected to the inlet means;
- and
- the outlet means and inlet means being disposed in the sealing means, the valve means including a cage attached to the interior end of the outlet means and a floating ball contained within the cage.
