Penn State University Purchases SynDaver Models

January 13, 2015
1/12/2015 —

Her name is Synthia, and she’s approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 125 pounds. Synthia is the newest addition to Penn State Shenango and its Biology Department. Shenango students became acquainted with her this fall while working in their anatomy course labs.

“Synthia is our new, female SynDaver™ model,” said Instructor in Biology Diane Kuharsky. “She, as we refer to it, was purchased by the campus to provide our students with the most authentic feel and look to a real cadaver. It is the perfect learning alternative to dissecting real animals—it’s more accurate and a wonderful tool for our anatomy students.”

Synthetic Death at the University of Northern Iowa

December 11, 2014 , ,

The University of Northern Iowa’s biology department will soon be able to enhance hands-on experience with synthetic cadavers.

The biology department will receive the four specimens in coffin-sized packages filled with seawater spring semester; after that, biology students will no longer dissect cat cadavers as part of their learning in the biology program.

Central New Mexico CC Gets Synthetic Cadavers

December 8, 2014 , , , ,

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – Students at Central New Mexico Community College have learned about the human body from cadavers for years. Now those cadavers have been replaced by synthetic, but very realistic cadavers.

CNM received two synthetic cadavers, running at about $50,000 each, from the company SynDaver Labs this summer. Before the synthetic cadavers, CNM’s anatomy and physiology classes would go through six to eight cadavers a year.

Cindy, the User-Friendly Cadaver

November 18, 2014 , ,

Mark Danley carefully pulls on a pair of latex gloves, then uncovers the lifeless adult female form on the table. He folds back the two flaps of her severed chest, exposing the heart, lungs and other internal organs.

For just a moment, a slightly sharp chemical odor drifts from the body. Four young women look on, saying little, seemingly transfixed by the view inside the human body.

“We actually have to open up her chest like she’s having cardiac surgery,” Danley tells them.

But the woman on the table, Cindy, is not having surgery. In fact, she has never even been alive. She is an artificial cadaver, all 100 pounds of her – muscles and organs, tendons and teeth, blood vessels and bones. She was manufactured solely to take the place of the real thing in a human anatomy lab at the Central New Mexico Community College, where Danley is a biology instructor.

The synthetic cadavers, called Syndavers, are head-to-toe replicas of the human body, from skin with fat tissue to elastic tendons and ligaments to squishy organs to rigid bones. Made by the Tampa, Fla. company Syndaver Labs, they consist of 85 percent water (similar to a human body) and a variety of fibers, along with different salts and organic compounds.

With Synthetic Cadavers, Students Learn Real-Life Skills

September 5, 2014 ,

In the operating room, precision comes with practice. As technology continues to advance, surgical training exercises look very much like real surgeries.

“This is a complete game changer,” says Dr. Luis Llerena, a surgeon who oversees USF’s state of the art Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation, located in downtown Tampa. “It’s no longer for any practitioner to learn on the job.”
