What is trocar for embalming?

A trocar is a long, slender, pointed instrument used in the embalming process. It is typically made of stainless steel and has a threaded end for attaching different types of needles. The trocar is inserted into the abdomen or chest cavity of the deceased and the pointed end is used to puncture organs and tissues to remove fluids and gas from the body. The trocar can also be used to inject embalming fluid into the body through the attached needles. Precise control and technique are required when using a trocar to avoid damage to organs or tissues. Proper disinfection and handling of the trocar is important to prevent cross-contamination and maintain a high level of hygiene during the embalming process.
