Bill Wright, who most recently led SynDaver’s European operations, has assumed global responsibilities previously managed by SynDaver CEO, Dr. Christopher Sakezles. This leadership change will enable Sakezles to be wholly focused on SynDaver’s new research and development operations under sister company, SynDaverX.

WATERLOO, Ont. – Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario is the recent recipient of two full-sized, multi-functional synthetic human models from SynDaver Labs in Tampa, Florida, making WLU the first institution in Canada to possess two full-body SynDaver Synthetic Humans.

TAMPA, Fla. – SynDaver, an advanced biotechnology company specializing in the creation of synthetic humans and synthetic animals for medical testing and training, has developed a new oral health trainer for use in dental education institutions.

TAMPA, Fla. – Before Tom Sakezles started his first Tampa barber shop in the early 1950’s, he had already done and seen more than most people would or should in an entire lifetime, including being killed-in-action.

TAMPA, Fla. – As technology giants like Apple, Google and Tesla continue to develop driverless automobiles, a next generation crash-test synthetic human prototype has been developed and is being modified by SynDaver Labs in Tampa with the mission being to improve passenger safety.

SynDaver Labs has become famous for their SynDaver Synthetic Human and the SynDaver Synthetic Canine, but recently the company created a prototype Synthetic Human specifically for use in vehicle safety testing, and it is already being used by one major, but confidential, company in Detroit. Additionally, another of the nation’s largest vehicle manufacturers has also reached out to SynDaver with the intent to use SynDaver’s Synthetic Humans in their testing.

This special version of the SynDaver Synthetic Human is being used by the confidential client to monitor how the body responds to the effects of extreme vibration and noise on the heart and lungs.

The reason SynDaver is being used over conventional crash-test dummies is because SynDaver’s synthetic tissues allow sensors (such as Doppler radar) to penetrate and monitor the blood flow and lung inflation, where a plastic body would not work.

“This version of our Synthetic Human has a heart that actually beats, contracts and forces blood through the vasculature system in a self-contained environment,” said Dr. Christopher Sakezles, founder of SynDaver Labs. “This is just the beginning of what our Synthetic Humans can be used for, but eventually we hope all automobile manufacturers will rely on our technology to see how destructive crashes will affect the body.”

While Apple, Google and Tesla are not currently using the SynDaver Synthetic Human for their crash testing, Sakezles expects they will recognize the value of having the closest thing to a living human as their potential crash test dummies. Apple, Google, Microsoft and other tech companies do currently use SynDaver tech in other applications.

“Our Synthetic Humans can be modified to capture data around any testing protocol and specification needed,” Sakezles said. “Their state-of-the-art autonomous vehicles deserve the most technologically advanced crash test Synthetic Human, and we’re capable of providing them.”

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – SynDaver Labs, a manufacturer of synthetic human and animal surgical trainers, is scheduled to attend the North American Veterinary Community’s 2017 Veterinary Innovation Summit from Apr. 28-30 at Texas A&M University.

Throughout the three day event, representatives from SynDaver will provide demonstrations of the company’s live-tissue replacement trainers and will unveil their latest model, a virtual reality multimedia platform that incorporates both human and animal anatomy renderings.

The table-sized device works by utilizing a touch sensitive LCD surface to allow students to view and manipulate digital renderings of human and animal anatomical structures.

“We are very excited to be able to bring this technology to the North American market,” said Dr. Christopher Sakezles, founder of SynDaver Labs. “Having a device like this is a game changer for classrooms because it will allow students to learn anatomy the SynDaver way, with both our tangible and virtual models in the same space.”

Additionally, SynDaver recently delivered 15 new SynDaver Surgical Canines to the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University. The models will be used as the centerpiece of the school’s surgical training program during the 2017-18 school year and offer students a realistic alternative to live animal training.

Much like the SynDaver Synthetic Human, the SynDaver Surgical Canine is made of water, fibers and salts, similar to a real living organism and mimics live tissue. The device can breathe and bleed just like a real dog and has individual muscles, bones, and organs. Additionally, the synthetic canine can be operated on repeatedly without any risk to live animals.

Finally, SynDaver will also begin its search for a site to host a new Texas-based facility. Plans for the new facility are still underway, however the location will be used as an operations center for the company’s product refurbishment program.

Texans interested in seeing SynDaver’s products up close can do so by visiting The Health Museum at 1515 Hermann Drive in Houston, Texas.
