Secondary+injection

Secondary Injection has been a very difficult term to research. To find the meaning to Secondary Injection it needs to be broke into two words. The word Secondary means less significant than the primary status. It is less than being first, it ranks second or to do something next. The term Injection - is an infusion method of putting fluid into the body which is pierced through the skin to a sufficient depth for the material to be forced into the body. By comprehending these two terms together we can acknowledge that the secondary injection would follow the primary injection which pierces the skin in a sufficient depth. Secondary injection in embalming is simply following a procedure after the primary injection site has been chosen. From the primary injection site, the embalming fluid pushes the blood out while filling the arteries and veins with the embalming fluid. The next injection site, the __secondary injection__ takes place right above the belly button. This secondary injection for the most part is to puncture each inside organ. A trocar, which is a long, pointed, metal tube attached to a suction hose is inserted inside the secondary injection site. This will puncture the stomach, bladder, large intestines, and lungs and allow embalming fluid to go through these organs. The secondary injection is very disgusting to do. The looks of it and the sound of it is very gross. Without the secondary injection blood cannot be removed from the organs. I understand how to do the secondary injection and why it is done, however, I defiantly don’t like doing it! Nancy Falin
