What type of embalming fluids are characterized by high concentrations of disinfectants and preservatives?

Cavity fluids are specialized embalming substances used primarily for the treatment of the body's cavities, such as the thoracic and abdominal cavities, after the organs have been removed or when addressing decomposition. These fluids contain a higher concentration of disinfectants and preservatives compared to other embalming agents, making them particularly effective at controlling the potential for odor and the proliferation of bacteria in body cavities post-mortem.

This high concentration is essential because the body's cavities can harbor a significant amount of bacteria and decomposition gases, which need to be neutralized to ensure the body is properly preserved and displayed during the viewing or funeral service. Cavity fluids are injected into these areas after arterial embalming to provide a thorough and effective preservation method, aiding in the overall embalming process.

Other types of embalming fluids mentioned have different primary purposes and compositions that do not focus specifically on addressing bacteria and decay within the body cavities to the same extent as cavity fluids.
