A Visit to the Synthetic Cadaver Factory

(via Atlas Obscura) In an ordinary Tampa, Florida, office park, just a couple of blocks from a bustling thoroughfare, a skinless cadaver named Quella is having the muscles of her arms individually sewn together by a young woman wearing headphones and a hoodie.  It’s not quite lunchtime at SynDaver Labs. Inside this otherwise unassuming facility, workers are creating what may be the world’s most advanced surgical and anatomical models out of little more than salt and water.
