Hypodermic Tissue Building Flashcards
Conditions requiring treatment include
Emaciation in the face, neck, and hands
Time of application of (hypodermic tissue builder)
After embalming
Why isn’t hypodermic tissue building performed before embalming?
Accurate requirements cannot be predetermined
An area of low resistance to the arterial injection is created
Embalming may do what to the tissues?
Replace moisture and eliminate signs of emaciation
Humectant fluid may be added to the embalming chemical as a what?
An internal tissue builder
This is the major fault of hypodermic tissue building
Danger of overfilling
Whenever filling similar structures on opposite sides of the face, be aware that….
Overinjection on one side will lead to compensating injection of the other side
Trying to balance the two sides may produce distortion
Tissue builder should be injected in _______ quantities
Small
Types of syringes
Metal with glass barrel
Glass
Disposable
Size in consideration of area to be injected
Mucous membranes
sunken temples
Length of needle selected depends upon
the dimensions of the area to be filled
Diameter of a needle is also known as the _________
Gauge
The higher the ______ the smaller the diameter
Gauge
The higher the gauge the _______ the diameter
Smaller
The lower the _______ the bigger the diameter
gauge
The lower the gauge the ________ the diameter
bigger
Larger diameter (lower gauge) is used for
cream fillers
Narrow diameters (higher gauge) is used for
Liquid filler
Each needle has a wire ____
cleaning guard
The tip of the needle is ________ to permit easy entry
angled
Why is the tip of the needle angled?
To permit easy entry
Types of syringe attachments
Lock type
Screw type
Force type
Types of tissue fillers
Massage cream
Mortuary creams
Liquid colloid
The needle is placed through the skin and directed to the most _________ point of the area to be filled
Distant
The needle is kept as ______ to the skin as possible
Close
To avoid puncturing the skin, the free hand is placed on the skin surface to
Estimate the depth of the needle
Once the needle is fully inserted under the skin, withdraw it to remove any __________
Subcutaneous tissue which may be blocking the tip
Slowly withdraw the needle to the point of entry, then apply
External pressure with fingers
Excess filler may be pressed out of the needle puncture before it has
set
Dehydration will create
brown holes
Possible hidden points of entry of the face
Hair regions Nostrils Corners of the mouth Receded parts of the ears Posterior margin of the angle of the jaw
