I developed EmbalmPro to give professional embalmers, apprentices, and mortuary science students a practical reference for case assessment, fluid preparation, and documentation. FLUID REFERENCE Search embalming fluids by name and manufacturer. Review available index values, properties, uses, manufacturer instructions, and dilution information. Save frequently used fluids in Favorites. SAFETY DATA SHEETS Access stored Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information for reference, including GHS hazard symbols, handling information, and listed emergency contacts. Consult the manufacturer’s complete, current SDS and applicable workplace requirements. FORMALDEHYDE (FORMALIN) CALCULATOR Use Standard and Scientific methods to compare fluid preparation calculations. Enter body weight, body composition, fluid index, desired strength, and solution volume. Save calculation details into an embalmer’s report. CASE ANALYSIS Review listed conditions, solution strengths, fluid index ranges, and preparation guidance. Suggested fluids reflect the app’s reference criteria. They do not guarantee suitability for a particular case. EMBALMER’S REPORTS Record case information, fluids, preparation details, body annotations, and notes. Create printable reports and export records. IPHONE AND IPAD Use the familiar tab layout on iPhone. On iPad, centered content keeps forms and lists at a comfortable width. Light and dark appearances are available. Professional judgment remains necessary. EmbalmPro does not replace case analysis, observation of tissue response, manufacturer instructions, or professional training. SUBSCRIPTION EmbalmPro is free to download. Full access requires an active annual subscription. The U.S. price is $39.99 per year. Eligible new subscribers may receive a seven-day free trial. Prices and eligibility are shown in Apple’s purchase sheet. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled through your Apple Account subscription settings.
