Episode 1: Understanding Glutaraldehyde – Facts, Benefits, and Its Place in Modern Embalming
In our debut episode of Mortuary Masterclass, we take a clear, balanced look at glutaraldehyde—a preservative that’s often misunderstood in the embalming world. Drawing from Champion’s Encyclopedia 651, we explore how glutaraldehyde works, why some embalmers prefer it for specific cases, and how it can complement—not replace—traditional formaldehyde-based practices.
Whether you’re curious about reducing exposure levels, handling challenging cases like edema and tissue gas, or simply want the science explained in plain language, this episode breaks it all down. No hype—just practical, research-backed insights you can use in the prep room.
