Dissecting room cadavers used over a prolonged period inevitably become desiccated, especially in well-ventilated surroundings. It is particularly desirable that dissections used for end-of-year examinations be restored to their original conditions. We describe here a quick and simple procedure designed to restore neglected specimens to their former condition at dissection. Specimens were either soaked for 24 hr in a standard solution of fabric conditioner or sprayed with the same standard solution. The specimens were then wrapped with muslin soaked in the conditioner and covered with polythene sheeting for 1 week. The results obtained were excellent and much superior to a short soak in water. The results further indicate that this technique may have other applications in the preparation of fixed histological material.
