Objective: Cost effective preparation of plastinated specimen for teaching and learning.Material & Method: This study was conducted by using organs collected from abattoirs and fetus received from our hospital. The specimens were plastinated by four different methods of using ethanol, acetone, GP Resin, RL resin.
Result: The specimens made by different method were durable, odorless, and served the purpose of Teaching. Plastinated snakes helped the students study the scale pattern of snakes and to Learn how to identify poisonous snake from non-poisonous ones.
Conclusion: The use of plastination technique will allow students to understand gross beyond the two Dimensional level. Cost effective methods can be developed using locally available Materials, thus allowing for greater acceptance at all the medical schools.
