Abstract
The plastination is an innovative technology to prepare biological models life like forms. Gunther Von Hagens, a German anatomist from Heidelberg, has developed a preservation technique that he had coined the word "plastination”. It includes four main steps like fixation, dehydration, impregnation and curing. The Hagen’s plastinate models is an alternative teaching aids and museum models which explores the scientific and cultural value of human cadaver as well as animal cadavers. This technique is a big boon to the professional to educate the gross morphological details from scientific community to common man. These plastinates overcomes the existing wet formalin embalmed cadaveric specimens in the laboratory.
