Special Procedures Laboratory (SPL)

The lab includes a large area dedicated as a gross anatomy teaching and cadaver procurement, preparation and storage facility. 

With ample space, the SPL can accommodate either small groups or a single large group up to 30 participants.

The anatomical models in the SPL are essential tools for enhancing medical education and anatomical understanding. 

• Embalmed and plastinated human cadaveric prosections provide detailed, hands-on learning of anatomy, offering a more realistic and comprehensive view of the body's structures. The hard-embalmed, prosected anatomical specimens are parts that have been carefully dissected and preserved for educational purposes. 
• Plastic models complement these prosections, providing clear representations of anatomical structures.

Together, these resources provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional learning experience, allowing students and professionals to deepen their knowledge of human anatomy in a realistic and highly engaging environment.

ATSSL offers different types of preservations including non-embalmed, light-embalmed and hard-embalmed specimens. The SPL is a specialized facility dedicated to the preparation and preservation of human cadaveric specimens for educational purposes. Equipped with advanced embalming technology, this space ensures that specimens are preserved to the highest standards for use in anatomical studies and surgical skills training.

Embalming provides the quality and integrity of cadaveric tissues for gross anatomy teaching, medical education, and research. The ATSSL Body Donation Program Administrator ensures an extremely professional environment for cadaver procurement, preservation, and preparation, supporting hands-on, realistic training experiences.
