Bringing human anatomical specimens to the next level
Global AnatomiX utilizes advanced preservation and contrast processes to deliver exceptional human cadaveric tissue handling and visualization. Our novel preservation system provides tissue longevity without formaldehyde, phenol, ethanol, or salt solutions.
Specimens are prepared with a proprietary preservation system and contrast agents that enhance the learning experience for medical professionals and scientists. This process extends the value of the anatomical gift by stabilizing and maintaining tissue integrity while decreasing potentially harmful chemical exposure.
GAX Specimens® are actual tissues that provide true lifelike handling experiences for anatomical, medical, surgical, imaging, and research training. They can be used within hours of preparation for bleeding, nonbleeding, and contrast based procedures.
GAX Specimens® provide realistic handling experiences and can support complex simulations, including bleeding scenarios using artificial or real blood products.
The system works with BriteVu® contrast agents for X ray, C arm, CT, MRI, ultrasound, light sheet microscopy, and histology.
Options include iodine compounds, gadolinium products, intraoperative agents, microscopy reagents, and common histology stains.
Rapid preparation, tissue stability, and refrigeration based care allow institutions to gain more training and research value from each anatomical gift.
Common methods can rely on chemicals that alter tissue appearance, feel, and handling while increasing exposure to volatile compounds.
Soft, pliable, lifelike tissue supports enhanced visualization and realistic training without formaldehyde, phenol, ethanol, or salt solutions.
By using advanced proprietary techniques, GAX Specimens® avoid the use of formaldehyde and many other traditionally used toxic preservation chemicals. The preservation process is completed faster than all other commonly available methods. With proper care, GAX Specimens® are maintained for extended time periods using refrigeration only. GAX Specimens® remain soft, pliable and maintain similar characteristics to that of “live” human tissue while offering enhanced visualization of anatomic structures.
The water based composition of the Global AnatomiX technology allows for a wide array of imaging options. Preserved GAX Specimens® have lifelike tissue appearances and provide histology compatibility and advanced imaging modalities. On top of that, vascular and soft tissue anatomy can be viewed more readily with GAX Specimens® compared to all other traditionally prepared donor tissue.
GAX Specimens® have been used in medical training for minor procedures up to complex surgeries such as parenchymal brain surgery. This is currently the only model available for numerous complex surgical training procedures.
Global AnatomiX specimens are significantly less toxic than those preserved with traditional methods. Only standard personal protective equipment (PPE) is needed, as would be expected with handling any human tissues. This eliminates the need for specialized ventilation or tissue disposal (beyond what is required by local laws). The exposure to volatile chemicals is minimal, allowing researchers to focus on anatomy and training without the concerns of exposure to toxic chemicals.
An improved experience for professionals, educators, and students translates into a better understanding of anatomy and disease treatment, and ultimately better care for patients.
Global AnatomiX provides specimens for semester long learning objectives. Unparalleled quality and longevity improve the user experience by limiting harsh and toxic preservatives that alter the smell, look and feel of an anatomic subject. Specimens can be provided for MD/DO, Nurse, PA, PT, Dentistry and general anatomic learning programs.
High quality subjects are ideal for industry use in the development of new products, techniques and technology. Global AnatomiX specimens enhance Surgical Training, Research and Development, and Product training.
Global AnatomiX can provide specimens for the Department of Defense that allow for the development of the most advanced life saving techniques and medical training. Specimens can provide real life training opportunities for those serving our military.
Global AnatomiX can provide the most advanced human specimens available for educational purposes.
Everything you need to know about GAX Specimens® and the BriteVu® compatible preservation and contrast process.
Global AnatomiX was founded in 2020 to advance medical education through lifelike training with real tissue preserved without formaldehyde, phenol, ethanol, or salt solutions.
The preservation system and chemicals were developed by a scientist and surgeon determined to find a safer way to preserve tissue and create realistic training models. Our goal is a new generation of confident and competent medical professionals who can train without risk to living patients and improve medical care.
Bringing human anatomical specimens to the next level — for the advancement of science, education, and patient care.
