Apr 1, 2011 - SynDaver™ Synthetic Human Launch
After nearly twenty years of basic materials research, more than ten years of live tissue testing, and two years of alpha and beta testing, the SynDaver™ Synthetic Human offically launched today. This technology features removable and replaceable bones, muscles, tendons, veins, arteries, nerves, organs, and skin - all made from our experimentally validated library of SynTissue™ synthetic human tissues. The first product in this line is the unisex torso, to be followed in Q3 2011 by the adult female torso, and the full female body in Q4 2011. Design work has also begun on fetus, preemie, newborn, child, and young adult versions of the synthetic human.

Customers purchasing the inital release unisex torso will receive a no-cost upgrade to the full-female human body available Q3 2011.
