|---|---|
| Objective 1-This survey would be a needs assessment and would procure information on different methods, techniques, modifications, of SSS embalming in medical institutes across India as well as the outside country. This would also help in identifying existing research gaps about the SSS technique. Objective 2-â?¢ Understanding the durability of fetal cadavers â?¢ Flexibility of joints â?¢ A better method of storage of body by using MSSS embalming â?¢ Histological appreciation â?¢ Evolving a better chemical composition and concentration of MSSS Objective 3-â?¢ Development of Salt Saturation method in such a way that, it could be used as a standard, routine, cost-effective, easily applicable, long durable, health-friendly, for surgical training and undergraduate teaching/dissections and research purposes. Timepoint: Objective 1-December 2021- February 2022 Objective 2-March 2022-July 2022 Objective 3-August 2022-January 2024 | — |

| Objective 1-Help in identifying existing research gaps about the SSS technique. Objectve 2-Evolving a better chemical composition and concentration of MSSS Objective 3- MSSS embalmed cadavers are expected to be life-like, which might result in lesser stiffness in joints and pliable structures that could allow effective performance of ST procedures such as central venous catheterization, creating pneumoperitoneum, different orthopedic procedures, and even for research purposes.Timepoint: Objective 1-December 2021- February 2022 Objective 2- March 2022-August 2022 Objective 3- September 2022-January 2024 | — |
