I just had a 90lbs cancer case, family kept her at home for 24 hours after death. She was in refrigeration for four days before embalming. Service is three weeks out. Had virtually zero drainage during prep, purge, and bad smell. I had to multi-point inject. Her entire abdomen and chest was green. Given her condition and lack of drainage, I wanted to aspirate same day.
I tried Pharos for the very first time, as I had just ordered a case two weeks prior. I used two bottles of Pharos after aspirating. 1.3 bottles in the upper cavity, and the remainder in the lower cavity. I wasn’t bothered by the fumes.
Her abdomen has completely firmed up. No purge. Coloration is no longer green, more natural color / slight grey. I am completely confident she will last another 2 more weeks in refrigeration before her service.
