Abstract
Long term cadaveric preservation represents a medical challenge, considering the toxicological consequences of formaldehyde in the environment and personal health status; stiffness of the tissues increases the difficulty of their manipulation in medical school and teaching hospitals. In recent years a new method of long-term preservation has emerged; it was proposed by Walter Thiel, known as Thiel Soft-fix method; it uses low concentrations of formaldehyde, also avoiding tissue stiffness for longer periods. In this review, we analyze the features of Thiel Soft-Fix method for long-term preservation of cadaver and tissues. Keywords: Embalming, Preservation, Thiel Soft-Fix method
