Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I seal human remains with the BioSeal System?
    Place the required length of BioSeal Systems material on a flat surface and then open it to its full width. Place the decedent onto the material and then fold it over to enclose the body. Simply align the edges and slowly go along the edge with the BioSeal System handheld heat sealer to weld the container.
  • How long does the heat sealing process take?
    The process is quick and easy. It takes about 3 to 5 minutes to safely contain human remains in the BioSeal Systems pouch.
  • How can I be sure that the material is properly sealed?
    The BioSeal Systems material will visibly change when an adequate seal is achieved, making it very easy for you to spot any areas that remain unsealed.
  • Will the BioSeal Systems material contain disease or poison?
    Yes. A properly sealed BioSeal Systems pouch will contain any known substance, vapor, gas, material, fluid, odor or chemical.
  • Will the BioSeal Systems material contain odors?
    Yes. A properly sealed BioSeal Systems pouch will contain all odors, fluids and gases generated by unrefrigerated human remains for at least 96 hours.
  • What happens to the gases from decomposition?
    The BioSeal Systems material is a flexible metal container. It will expand to accommodate all the gases generated by unrefrigerated human remains until the internal pressure exceeds 95kph or about 300 psi. Somewhere around 98kph the BioSeal Systems material will develop micro–sized pinholes and the excess gas will be vented out.
