FRIGID WATER CLOT GUARD CO-INJECTION

Frequently the cause of a blotchy appearance and fading color, hard water that exceeds 80 ppm calcium carbonate cannot be neutralized by the chemicals in arterial fluid alone. Hard water salts work against the embalmer in several ways. They react with some of the dyes frequently used in arterial fluids to reduce or eliminate their color. Calcium ion is required for blood clotting. In addition to its ability to counter the effects of hard water salts and prevent clotting, Water/Clot Guard has the ability to activate glutaraldehyde. Glutaraldehyde functions best at a pH of 8 to 8.5. Water/Clot Guard, because of the alkaline nature of its components, can raise the pH of the mix to which it is added to the proper pH range. 24 pints per case. Click Here To Download SDS Sheet

HOW TO USE THE FLUIDWater/Clot Guard should be used at 2 to 4 ounces per gallon of diluted arterial fluid for fluids containing either formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde. It is best to add the Water/Clot Guard first to the dilution fluid, then add the arterial fluid. When used with Frigid’s Leak Guard, use Water/Clot Guard at one half the number of ounces of Leak Guard to activate the glutaraldehyde.
