Surgical hypochlorite solution? I wonder what they would use that for. I thought bleach was mainly used to clean/disinfect surfaces. The formalin would do that job for the actual cadavers, wouldn't it?

formalin preserves the body for biopsy purposes, but I have never seen anyone use it to clean the body......but than again I could be wrong. ;-)

Yuck! I hate the smell of bleach and will not use it my autopsy room. Ever. I use special cleaners from a company called Mopec. Wonderful stuff!!

It was used to clean and disinfect obviously. I am always preplexed how this stuff was just left behind. It is as though when these hospitals close down, there was no preparation at all...it just was open and then BOOM shut down and no one cared enough to pack and clean up. Then again...why? It isn't like any of the workers had a job to come back to. Nonetheless I would think some sort of biohazard clean up crew would be brought in. Guess not.

Yes the bleach is used for cleaning sufaces; formalin is a chemical you don't want to use outside the corpse more than you have to.
