Kari the Mortician explains what a Blickens Device is and why you won't see it in many embalming rooms anymore. Some embalmers do swear by the design and continue to use them daily though. The fact that it raises the deceased off their back to allow drying gives an added feature to it.

Almost thirty years as an embalmer and I learned something new, today!

Looks like something you would see in an OB-GYN office.

Blickens Device was a fantastic tool for body positioning. I learned how to embalm using it. Yes, it had a lot of parts, and not to difficult to maintain if you cleaned it after each preparation. I’d live to have one now if I could find a good usable one.

@KaritheMortician 3 года назад

I would love to see one in person and check it out

I would love to see the various things it can do.🥰 Looks like something the guy would lay in while you are doing things.... definitely looks medieval or like something you want to avoid going in at the doctor. 🧛🏾❤️🧟

Vinny says , oh yes ! This brings back some fond memories of growing up ! Momma kept one of these devices in her closet for when she took all us kids shopping for shoes , haircuts , etc . And it was perfect punishment instead of standing in the corner when you were naughty ! Ah , what fond memories !

@KaritheMortician 3 года назад

oh no lol

I have a suggestion for a future video. Victorian era death photos. Photographers would pose the dead with family in life like positions before burial. I recently was reading about this and immediately thought you would be the perfect person to do a video about it!!!

@davidmckinney6577 3 года назад

Kaitlyn did a video of it.

@KaritheMortician 3 года назад

@davidmckinney6577 3 года назад

Yeah Kari that apparatus look like it is too much drama with all of the attachments to it and it would be time consuming to clean it to I'd say. Very interested video buddy 👍👌✌️

@KaritheMortician 3 года назад

Yes I agree but some people swear by them

Superior sold a full body device called the hydra sani rest.It cupped under the shoulders and buttock hip area.It made massage and dressing much easier and cleaning was less work

@sterlingodeaghaidh5086 3 года назад

I heard of these, but I have never seen one. The funeral home I worked for had a head block but besides that, they just used styrofoam blocks and pillows never anything fancy for positioning the body.

@eters1991 3 года назад

Fuller Blickens is/was? My great grandfather. Do with that information as you please.

@KaritheMortician 3 года назад

@lauragadille3384 3 года назад

Looks very scary. Glad you have easier devices for the modern time.

@KaritheMortician 3 года назад

@cleverusername6233 3 года назад

"Blickens Device" just conjors up some medi evil torture thingy. Looking at it, I'm not far off lol. Thanks for another informative video Kari!

@VeneficaDelirium 3 года назад

It looks like it's more trouble than it's worth for embalmers to use.

@cleverusername6233 3 года назад

@@VeneficaDelirium Yep. That's a headache in physical form. Generally the more moving parts/attachments/"uses" something has, the bigger pain in the butt it will be.

@KaritheMortician 3 года назад

Some love them though

@KaritheMortician 3 года назад

I think the device word adds to that

I'd imagine it rather expensive as well. And a facility would need several of them.

Looks like something similar to the old porcelain "operating tables" from Champion Chemical Co with positioning aids that attached to the side and head areas of the table.

Oh that Blickens guy, always the one with new ideas. I wonder if it's related to the Brannock device? You know, that aluminum thing at shoe stores they use to measure your foot.
