Arterial Fluids.Rx-4
Rx-4 Arterial Fluid is a low formaldehyde index 18. It gives ample preservation without any of the objectionable features of high formaldehyde index fluids. These objectionable features of high index fluids are poor drainage, poor distribution, dehydration and impaired cosmetic effect. Usually such fluids are very acid which tends to cause a grayish color.
Rx-4 gives maximum drainage and incorporates a viscous chemical to force distribution to all extremities. The viscous action which involves the use of large molecules to increase capillary pressure prevents gravitation and dehydration.
Rx-4 can be used separately, but it is designed to be used in conjunction with B-4 Body Conditioner and Neutralizer. The combination of these two chemicals gives an effect heretofore impossible-- firmness with alkalinity.
A new cosmetic color is incorporated in Rx-4 called Hy-Dye Radiant Peach Cosmetic Color. This is a flesh colored staining dye. The combination of high viscosity and low formaldehyde index actually results in greater preserving power. More fluid is retained in the upper surfaces of the body where it is needed most. Increased capillary pressure due to the large molecules in the viscous chemicals causes a greater penetration of all the tissues.
