The lab also features the world's first virtual dissection table, the Anatomage Table , which is the most technologically advanced anatomy visualization system in the world containing segmented cadaver scans of hundreds of bodies and many species; the Anatomage Table is available for all programs to utilize in the VR Lab.
Human Cadaver Lab
The on-campus Cadaver Lab at Stanbridge University is the first Synthetic Human Cadaver Lab on the West Coast as a medical training resource. It houses both real and synthetic human cadaver specimens. The real human cadavers are provided by the University of Arizona, College of Medicine, Department of Cellular & Molecular Medicine, Willed Body Program. The specimens are preserved in large, in-house refrigeration units maintained at 38 degrees Fahrenheit.
The 2 full-body synthetic cadavers were constructed by SynDaver Labs, and include removable and replaceable bones, muscles, blood vessels, veins, and organs for tactile learning.
Both real and synthetic cadavers serve as a learning tool to teach students human anatomy.
Synthetic Canine Cadaver Lab
The Synthetic Canine Cadaver Lab is equipped with SynDaver Surgical Canines from SynDaverTM Labs, for veterinary technician training, and is the first of its kind on the West Coast. The canine cadavers are simulation robots that are iPad controlled and feature life-like muscles, bones, organs, and can breathe, bleed, pulse and urinate. Students use these models to learn and master hands-on skills like suturing, catheterization, intubation, dentistry, and more.
Canine Patient Training Simulator
The Stanbridge University Veterinary Technology Teaching Clinics are host to the world's first high-fidelity Canine Patient Simulator. Built by Cornell University's Professor of College of Veterinary Sciences, Dr. Daniel Fletcher, D.V.M, Ph.D., the technology allows students to practice making emergency clinical decisions with real-time physiological feedback in a controlled environment. The manikin replicates scenarios including respiratory constriction, airway obstruction, and functions that could occur during anesthesia such as changes in oxygen levels, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. These changes trigger real-time alarms and reactions for students to troubleshoot through CPR and other skills. The simulator collects data from the students' responses to help evaluate student performance.
Simulation Lab
The on-campus Simulation Lab at Stanbridge University features six hospital beds, high fidelity breathing, crying, and talking simulation manikins: Laerdal SimMan 3G, SimMom, and SimNewB.
