Institute of Plastination

The Institute of Plastination is an organization dedicated to the study and practice of plastination, a technique that preserves biological specimens by replacing water and fats with plastics. This process results in durable, life-like specimens that retain their anatomical details, making them valuable for medical education, research, and public exhibitions. Plastination allows for detailed viewing of the body's internal structures without decay, providing a safe and accessible way to learn about anatomy. The institute promotes research, training, and ethical presentation of plastinated specimens to advance understanding of human and animal biology.
