BRINGING SURGICAL SIMULATION TO LIFE WITH REANIMATED TISSUE
THE PROBLEM
WITH EXISTING PRACTICE AND TESTING ENVIRONMENTS
None of today’s methods – animal models, synthetic models, cadavers... even water perfused cadavers – offer a level of fidelity that truly simulates a living patient.
This lack of needed realism leads to unacceptably high physician error rates and a nearly 50% failure rate for medical devices when transitioning from non-human to human testing (JAMA 2022).
A NEW REALITY
By inventing a groundbreaking way to reanimate tissue, only MaxFi® provides a new level of realism in surgical simulations and complex medical device development, training, and education.
Any surgery that can be performed on a living patient can be performed on a MaxFi Reanimated Tissue.
Our patented reanimated simulations have a pulse and blood pressure. They can breathe, have a temperature, and respond with a level of fidelity that redefines “real”.
Until MaxFi, this level of realism has been unimaginable. That’s why we have no competitors. No imitators. And certainly, no equals.

TRAINING AND TESTING CHANGED FOREVER
MaxFi makes a difference in many areas including:
• Expedited learning and training for fellows and practicing surgeons.
- Practice new surgical techniques once, twice, even multiple times in this hyper-realistic setting, inspiring confidence.
- Practice realistic training for traumatic injuries and emergency medical situations.
- Safely see errors and results in real time.
• Optimized medical device development, training and education.
- Test complex technology in an environment that’s no longer insufficient or compromised by low-fidelity simulations.
- Gain accurate data.
- Realize timeline efficiencies, avoiding a longer path to FDA approval.
- Save costs.
• Risk reduction.
• And most importantly, better patient outcomes.
HOW MAXFI’S COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE SOLUTION WORKS
MaxFi Reanimated Tissue can include isolated limbs, heads (cephalus), individual organ systems, the pulmonary system, or entire bodies.
PREPARATION PRIOR TO PERFUSION
• EnvivoFlush removes residual blood & clots left in the tissue.
• EnvivoLyte stops leaky capillaries & restores the circulatory system.
TISSUE PERFUSION
The reservoir is filled with synthetic SimBlood ®. The pump is set to the clinician’s parameters.
The pump moves SimBlood through the tissue, mimicking heart rate, blood pressure, and blood loss of live patients.
HOW DO PHYSICIANS BENEFIT FROM MAXFI?
Physicians can practice new surgical techniques in a hyper-realistic setting with no live patient risk.
“The practice on the perfused cadaver was far greater than I could have imagined.”
Dr. Steven K. Kidd Interventional Cardiologist St. Cloud, Minnesota
Physicians can see surgical errors and results in real-time.
"Training on a cadaver with MaxFi was a fantastic experience. This tool will help me obtain axillary access more often and to be prepared for more than just Impella in my practice.”
— Dr. Gary W. Yawn Interventional Cardiologist Gallatin, Tennessee
Essential hands-on training for emergency medical situations is enhanced through realistic tissue and vascular behavior.
"Training with perfused cadavers prepares young surgeons for situations such as a traumatic injury or critical illness, and we must be ready to provide the necessary care."
— John A. Olson, Jr., MD, PhD Chairman of the Department of Surgery Washington University School of Medicine
