The American Medicine Today crew visits with SynDaver Labs in Tampa, Florida.
On our second visit to SynDaver Labs, they share with us their newest development: the Special Operations Forces Suit, or “SOF” suit, which was created to act as a wearable point of injury simulator. Kevin King is the Vice President of Global marketing at SynDaver and joins us to explain how the models they used for training in the past were nothing like real human tissue and how SynDaver has been focusing on ‘Live Tissue Simulation’ for more than 12 years.
