Patent ID: 7644477

Claim:
A corpse treatment device comprising: a column; a water-absorbing agent made of a powder of water-absorbing resin; a guide member formed in a cylindrical shape having openings at both ends, said guide member accommodates the column and the water-absorbing agent and is configured to guide the column and the water-absorbing agent into a body cavity; a closing member disengageably fitted to and closing the opening at the distal end of the guide member; and a rod-shaped push member configured to be inserted into the guide member through the opening at the proximal end to push out the column and the water-absorbing agent accommodated in the guide member through the opening at the distal end of the guide member; wherein the closing member is configured to completely detach from the guide member when the column and water-absorbing agent are pushed through the opening at the distal end of the guide member into the body cavity by the push member; wherein the column is configured to expand until the cavity is plugged by absorbing water from internal contents in the body cavity and the water-absorbing agent is configured to absorb water from the internal contents, thereby preventing the internal contents from leaking out of the cavity; and wherein the water-absorbing agent is disposed adjacent to the column and in proximity of the opening at the distal end of the guide member.
