Syndaver Surgical Canines
WARNING!
This page
contains simulated medical gore!
I talk about and show images of an anatomical model of a dog used for
vet training. Nothing shown is real, but it is very lifelike, so please proceed with caution if this content will
bother you!

Well, for this
page, I don't have much of an introduction; it's simply something I
stumbled onto and I think it's quite interesting. I saw an article about
it way back when and found it again deep in my favorites, so I figured,
why not make a post about it?
SynDaver is a technology company
that specializes in anatomically correct models for use in medical and
veterinary training. These models can replicate breathing, bleeding, and
come equipped with special attatchments and modules to replicate certain
pathogens and medical conditions. The SynDacer Synthetic Human is fully
mobile, boasting life-like tissues made of water, salt, and fiber.
However, more interesting is the
SynDaver Surgical Canine, a veterinary
tool intended to replace canine cadavers and live specimens in surgical
training.
These SynDaver
dogs are... well, they're certainly something to look at! They're very
interesting, especially given the knowledge of how much work it takes to
make them, but they're really freaky looking if you don't have any
backstory.
In addition to the full canine model, you can buy just the heads or
abdomens, as well as replacement organs.
You can look at these canine bodies and some other projects linked on
the SynDaver website above if you're interested, or you can just peruse
the images below!
