Modern spleen plastination technologies: comparative analysis of techniques and materials (literature review)

The use of cadaveric material has found its application for educational purposes in veterinary and medical universities. The obvious disadvantages of this approach are the requirements for maintaining the operational capacity of the cadaver material, as well as the peculiarities of changing the morphological structure of the organ with some cooking technologies. The article examines the application of modern methods of spleen plastination based on a sample from scientific data from PubMed, eLibrary and Google Scholar in the period from 1994 to 2024. 21 articles from a sample of 252 articles were analyzed. Currently, the authors propose standard Hagens plastination techniques with Biodur S10; using various fixing solutions (in particular, 0.56% glutaraldehyde and 2% formaldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 1.2 mM MgCl2 and 2.5 mM CaCl2); with Biodur S10/S15; with Brazilian polysiloxane P1; сryodehydration methods, room-temperature plastination technique, as well as methods of own production.
