SynDaver™ Labs’ was invited to Washington DC in order to demonstrate our revolutionary live-tissue replacement technology to a panel of U.S. Senators. A large group of senators, staffers, and media personnel participated in the demonstration. More information is available HERE »
SynDaver™ Labs’ was invited by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) to show the SynDaver™ Synthetic Human to the Congressional Caucus for Medical Simulation. Several members of congress participated in the demonstration, including Representatives Robert Filner and Dennis Kucinich. More information is available from PCRM »
SynDaver™ Labs’ seventh U.S. Patent (No 8,137,110) was issued today. The patent covers the design and manufacturing of synthetic human tissues which mimic the dielectric properties of a relevant living human tissue.
SynDaver™ Labs exhibited at the SOMA expo for the first time this year, showing our new airway trainers, trauma head, and a robotic, breathing, beating-heart version of the SSH platform. The company also sponsored a course organized by Dr. Alan Frankfurt and Dr. Jeffrey Cain to teach combat medics effective cricothyroidotomy techniques with SynDaver™ Labs’ products.
SynDaver™ Labs sponsored the 1st annual meeting of the Robotic Assisted Microsurgical and Endoscopic Society (Ramses) beginning today. Surgeons from around the globe converged on Orlando to learn microsurgical techniques on SynDaver™ synthetic human tissues in several operating theatres at Winter Haven Hospital.
For most human patient simulators, latex remains the material of choice for the external “skin” of the manikins themselves. It’s a reasonably tough material, and relatively easy to clean, but when you touch one there is no doubt in your mind that you are not touching a human being, you are touching latex. That’s just a serious drawback – read more in EMS World Magazine »
Our improved trachea now includes multiple inferior and superior lobar bronchii in addition to the two main stems. Tissues of construction include a muscular jacket, individual hyaline cartilige rings with trachealis muscles, and a mucosal layer. This organ is also available in a semi-transparent version. Like all of our newly improved organ systems this product will be provided free of charge to existing SSH customers.
A new head module for the SSH system now allows the simulation of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This unit includes a detailed brain with arachnoid membrane, adjustable subdural hematoma, swelling tongue, fractured skull, broken jaw, and dislocated trachea.
SynDaver™ Labs recently released a high-fidelity, low-cost cric trainer with basic tissue and organ structures borrowed from the SynDaver™ Synthetic Human line of surgical simulation models. Complete system is $250 with replacement components (skin window and cric membrane) that cost only $1 per set!
SynDaver™ Labs is developing an entirely new class of human patient simulator which marries our existing tissue-tool surgery capabilities with an internal pumping heart, negative pressure respiration, muscular motion, embedded sensing and data acquisition, and real time physiology (synthetic autonomic nervous system). This new product line, the SynDaver™ Synthetic Human Patient, will combine the capabilities of our current soft tissue simulators with features only available in simulators costing 3-5 times as much. First product in this family will be the robotic Animae, available in Q2 2012!
