SYNDAVER NEWS

SynDaver™ Labs recently launched a new line of synthetic heart valves. Our new heart valve designer will allow clients to build aortic and mitral valves in a large variety of sizes (12mm – 42mm OD) in either healthy or diseased tissue format. These valves are typically combined with our aorta, vena cava, and heart models, and are currently being used by major medical device manufacturers in design verification and validation tests as well as clinical training applications. Pathologies include calcification, stenosis, and bacterial colonization.

A synthetic human arm designed and manufactured by SynDaver™ Labs was used by IVIR Inc (Sarasota, FL) in a Phase 2 award from U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Simulation and Training Technology Center (RDECOM STTC). The overall effort is intended to field more realistic upper extremity partial task trainers.

SynDaver™ Labs is developing platforms to enable world-class surgical training on the cheap. Read about our efforts to improve surgical simulation in the latest issue of Surgical Products magazine »

SynDaver™ Labs has developed new vein and artery constructions in millimeter and submillimeter (0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, and 0.9mm) sizes. The new vessel types are now sold as straight sections with branches and other complex structures available on a special-order basis. These vessels are ideal for microvascular anastomosis training.

A partial SynDaver™ synthetic human torso model was delivered to alpha testing today. This complex live-tissue replacement simulator will include several hundred replaceable muscles, tendons, arteries, veins, and organs, as well as skin, fat, and fascia pads, and will be a universal surgical simulator and medical device test bed once completed.

SynDaver™ Labs has begun developing a number of tissues and body parts for elementary medical education purposes. These products will be designed to replace simple benchtop models and animal components in vascular anastomosis and suturing skills training.

SynDaver™ Labs designed and manufactured a synthetic human arm used by IVIR Inc (Sarasota, FL) in a U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Simulation and Training Technology Center effort to field more realistic upper extremity partial task trainers.

SynDaver™ Labs, of Tampa, Florida, has developed a feasible alternative to live animals and human cadavers for medical device development testing. Read about our synthetic human tissues and body parts in the latest issue of Medical Product Manufacturing News »
