Comparison of chemical and enzymatic maceration processes for soft tissue removal from arterial silicone casts on skull scaffolds
Abstract The various models used in gross anatomical studies to improve the visualization of blood vessels differ in the amount of manual labour, cost, equipment and time involved. This study aimed to compare chemical and enzymatic maceration processes for soft‐tissue removal from arterial silicone...
