Salt + Water + Fibers = Synthetic Human Body

December 20, 2013

Models used for testing medical devices range from the gold standard – a live human – to inadequate models that design engineers assemble themselves. Some even resort to using twisted up pieces of rubber tubing to simulate vessels for design validation testing. Obviously, this approach misguided, not just for medical devices but for any product requiring testing. Engineers relying on data from a poorly conceived test environment may move a design in the wrong direction, leading to increased development costs or a product never reaching its final stage.

NCCC Surgical Technology and SynDaver

November 5, 2013 , ,

Surgical technology instructors along with a practicing surgeon are able to use the SSH in our state of the art simulated operating room, to mimic real surgical cases in a step by step fashion, to greatly enhance student learning. This allows students to completely prepare for and assist with surgeries as they would realistically progress, prior to entering the clinical site operating rooms. Rather than seeing the anatomy and surgical methods used in this case on our SSH, this video allows students to see the functions of a surgical technologist providing perioperative patient care and surgeon assistance. All members of the surgical team on this video are Certified Surgical Technologists except for the surgeon (in the “stars” cap). The scenario is true to the surgical experience in a real operating room, on a real patient.
