F4L embalmed bodies score best in gross anatomy and all surgical disciplines

Scientific poster assessing the suitability of Fix4Life Cadavers for medical and surgical training in
comparison with fresh-frozen and formalin fixed preservation methods.

Presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the German Anatomical Society by Niklas Goernitz and Nadja Seidel of the Surgical-Anatomical Training Centre at the Berlin Simulation and Training Centre (Best-CAT) Charité.

Andries J. van Dam, started his career as collection manager / conservator at the Anatomy Museum of the Leiden University Medical Centre.

His research interest has primarily been focused on fluid preservation. He has published several papers in journals such as Collection Forum and Cell Preservation Technology. During this period he also represented national and international professional societies such as ICOM-CC.

His pragmatic approach to classic problems encountered in fluid preservation has lead to several discoveries and innovative ideas such as an alternative for formalin, a decision-making model for the conservation and restoration of fluid preserved specimens, the Alcomon Indicator System, the Universal Stopper Jar Opener, and Fix for Life, a safe embalming method preserving life-like morphology.
