CADSEAL
What is Cadseal?
Cadseal is a specialized sealing solution used in the preparation of a deceased individual for international repatriation, particularly when transport involves air travel. It serves as a modern, practical alternative to traditional zinc linings, which are often required by certain countries for hygienic containment during transit.
Once embalming is complete, Cadseal is applied to hermetically seal the body, preventing the escape of fluids or gases. This ensures:
- Hygienic containment
- Odor prevention
- Compliance with international health and transportation regulations
Cadseal is especially valuable in situations where refrigeration is not available or possible, including:
- Infectious disease cases, where additional containment is critical
- Long-term holding, when a deceased person must be preserved for several weeks before burial or repatriation
By removing the need for a zinc-lined coffin, Cadseal reduces both weight and cost, offering a safe, respectful, and regulation-compliant solution for funeral professionals and families alike.
