Obtenção de modelos de estudos anatômicos utilizando resina acrílica

Abstract

Many researches among them Galeno, Andreas Vesalius, Hippocrates, Leonardo Da Vinci, among others, have dedicated themselves to anatomical studies and methods of conservation bodies. Being Human Anatomy a basic content for all undergraduate courses involving health, their study is essential. In Brazil, the Federal Law No. 8501/1992 regulates the donation of cadavers for study, but the lack of it and the corpse pieces isolated is a constant in the Institutes of Education. Faced with the difficulties encountered today, the search for alternative methods in teaching the human body has been relentless. Given a search for human anatomy a way to preserve the anatomical parts as best as possible, new techniques have been described and studied over time laboratories. This work was carried out in order to obtain a new technique for the study of anatomical parts fresh by applying crystal acrylic resin , with low cost and disposal of liquid preservatives, thus facilitating the handling of parts. Different anatomical parts, like a leaver, heart and brain swine which were included in a block of ice were used; were cut from 4 to 6 mm and subjected to a battery of alcohol to rapid dehydration, then the pieces were embedded in acrylic resin Crislight® and then subjected to sanding and finishing, and polishing to obtain a good aesthetics and performance. This study demonstrated that it is possible to include anatomical piece polyester resin, thereby obtaining a study model that offers excellent visibility, a technique easy to perform and affordable. However, more studies should be conducted to improve the technique and develop models with better quality. Although the behavior of the resin due to different types of resins in a future study should be noted.
