Synthetic Human Tissues Site
Published October 25th, 2008
Animal Replacement Technologies have announced the launch of their E-commerce site (store.anireptec.com) for North America and Europe. A full range of synthetic human tissues and body parts are now available for purchase on the site via, credit card, check, or purchase order.
Animal Replacement Technologies, based in Florida, USA, develops sophisticated synthetic human tissues and body parts for the medical device, consumer product, and military technology industries. This technology employs replacable muscles, tendons, veins, arteries, and organs; all made from novel materials that mimic the structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of discrete living tissues. Our products are currently used by Fortune 500 medical device manufacturers in validation testing, by medical professionals in surgical training, and by military manufacturers in ballistics testing.
Medical product designers, researchers, and educators also use Animal Replacement Technologies’ products to perform highly compelling comparative benchmarking studies. Such tests allow the developer to illustrate performance differences between prototype variants or prototypes and previously released devices. Used in this capacity, our modeling technology is the best tool available for supporting substantial equivalence claims to the FDA.
“There is no rubber, glass, or plastic in our products”, says Dr. Christopher Sakezles, the President of Animal Replacement Technologies. “Our synthetic human tissues are designed on the basis of tests performed on live tissues, and much like the real thing these analog materials are composed primarily of water, fibers, and salts. In fact, each component we make, such as an synthetic human aorta, is itself comprised of multiple complex constructions . . . these are highly sophisticated products made from very complex composite materials.”
