This technique has advantages over the traditional method of body part preservation and handling of the specimen. But the main drawback remains its cost and availability of the reagents. Till date, this technique of specimen preservation has not been used by any surgeon. Hence we plan to use this technique of plastination for the preservation of museum specimen. We also plan to compare various reagents used for the same as commercially available resins and touchwood primer paint. Objectives: Primary objective: to study the efficiency of various reagents of plastination for the preservation of the surgical specimen. Methods: This is a prospective interventional randomized study over 1 year period. Study population: 5 specimens in each group of reagent. All the specimens in both groups will be subjected to the same process of Plastination, specimen selection, dehydration and defatting, vacuum impregnation, positioning, curing, specimen analysis over 6 months. Results: The Plastination specimen of Touchwood reagent will be compared with the standard Plastination reagent specimen in terms of durability, handling, clarity of specimen and cost-effectivity. Conclusions: The specimen should be comparable to the specimen of epoxy resin reagent in terms of durability, clarity and ease of handling.&#13;
