VAN NUYS, Calif.--Offering the latest in training, Valley Presbyterian Hospital (VPH)
will host a mobile cadaver lab on Monday, Oct. 24, which will provide physicians
with hands-on participation in practical sessions using recent technological
advances in foot and ankle reconstruction.
Physicians will participate in training activities from noon to 4 p.m.,
learning the latest in tools and implants by working with the cadavers.
“The mobile lab provides another opportunity for Valley Presbyterian Hospital
to ensure our medical staff is knowledgeable about the newest and best medical
innovations to provide the care our patients deserve,” said Gustavo Valdespino,
President and CEO of VPH. “For more than 50 years, Valley Presbyterian Hospital
has stayed at the forefront of medicine through this type of training and the
use of the latest in technology.”
The mobile lab travels the country, giving surgeons and other medical staff
an opportunity to work with real bone, soft tissue, blood vessels, tendons and
nerves from cadavers. It is sponsored by Synthes, a company that develops,
produces and markets instruments, implants and biomaterials for the surgical
repair and regeneration of the skeleton and its soft tissues.
Media tours and photos are available. Please contact:
