Abstract
Successful training of medical curriculum results in good doctors. Anatomy being the most important subject of medical training involves hands on dissection of cadavers. For study of undergraduate medical students and training and workshops to build efficient surgeons, properly preserved cadavers are required. Preservation of cadavers has been in prevalence since a long period of time and has seen a lot of transition and changes. This study was a small effort to study and compile some changes that cadaver preservation has seen over a period from 1992‐2022 in terms of embalming fluids. Literature available of the said duration was studied and a systematic review was compiled of the low embalming fluids and Thiels embalming fluid in terms of softness, elasticity and fungal growth After systematic analysis of data pertaining to low concentration and theil embalming various chemical composition of the embalming fluid used was tabulated. Total of eight to ten chemical constituents were used. The presence or absence over a period of thirty years were marked in table 1. It was the correlated with the decreased concentration and usage of said embalming fluid formed. Theil and low concentration formalin was found to be very useful in hands on practice of surgeries but not cost effective and long standing for medical students in dissection.
