Plastination: A preservation technique where a dead specimen can be processed and preserved almost in their natural state. Done in 3 types; Whole body plastination: whole organism preserved, sheet plastination; body sliced into sheets/slices which are preserved and Lamina plastination where a cavity is preserved and surrounding tissue dissolved. In both types biological tissue soluble fats and water are replaced with polymer & then hardened to attain nearly natural looking and durable anatomical specimen. Products of this process; Plastinates are clean, dry, smell less, harmless, need little care, perfect for museum display and medical education. We discuss its historical background, types, principle, procedure and ethical considerations.
