Abstract
In the method, cadaver (50) is kept at low temperature and sterilized in casket (1, 2) or disaster pouch (51), which prevents cadaver (50) from putrefying and bacteria from propagating therein. In the apparatus, casket (1, 2) constructed of casket body (1) and lid (2). Disposed in casket (1, 2) is cooling means constructed of: cooling casing (3, 8); nozzle (20) for supplying a liquefied cooling gas to cooling casing (3, 8). One or a plurality of ventilation boards (4, 9) are incorporated in casing (3, 8) wherein cooling chamnber (6, 11) is formed between board (4, 9) and casing (3, 8) to permit the cooling gas to enter board (4, 9) and flow in a direction opposite to that of the gas flowing inside the cooling chamber (6, 11).
Claims10
A method for conserving a cadaver comprising the steps of:
- providing a casket enclosing the cadaver;
- forming a liquefied cooling-gas supply space in the casket separated by at least one solid planar wall from a space enclosing the cadaver, and
- supplying a liquefied cooling gas to said liquefied cooling-gas supply space;
- whereby the space enclosing the cadaver of said casket is cooled and sterilized through said at least one solid planar wall.
In an apparatus for conserving a cadaver, including a casket having a casket body lid member and an improvement comprising cooling means in the casket for conserving the cadaver therein;
- said cooling means having a cooling casing separated by at least one solid planar wall plate from a space enclosing the cadaver;
- a nozzle member for supplying and communicating a liquefied cooling gas to an interior of said cooling casing.
