Asclepius Virtual Dissection Table
Dissect the same body as many times as the class needs
Asclepius 3.0 is a virtual dissection table built for medical education. Over 5,000 anatomical structures and a full clinical imaging library, on a touchscreen a whole group can gather around — in four sizes, from a mobile lecture table to a 99-inch teaching platform.
Asclepius 3.0
Human anatomy, reconstructed structure by structure
Asclepius rebuilds the human body in 3D one anatomical structure at a time. Students interact with digital anatomy instead of a cadaver — and they can start the dissection over as often as they like.
- Unlimited dissections — nothing is consumed, so a difficult region can be worked through again and again
- Real cadaver images — the digital model held directly against a photograph of the real structure
- No formalin, no odour, no disposal — a digital alternative to a wet lab
- Built with the people who teach from it — developed over years with clinicians and professors, and still expanding
What comes loaded
A teaching library, not just a model
The TBK-65 4K, TBK-84 EA and TBK-99 EA ship with the whole content library as standard — anatomy, imaging, slides, embryology, comparative anatomy and an examination bank — and the TBK-43 LT includes Anatomy and OOOPDS Radiology as standard.
5,000+ anatomical structures
A digital human body with more than 5,000 individually modeled structures, each one separable from the layers around it.
Anatomy teaching points
Prepared teaching points across the body, so each region can be taught from whichever angle the point needs.
Real cadaver images
Real cadaver photographs that place the real anatomical structure and its digital counterpart side by side.
Histology and pathology slides
High-resolution digital slides for studying tissue and pathology down to the cellular level.
Embryology, week 5 to 42
The complete anatomical growth sequence of the embryo and fetus, plus over 100 embryonic pathologies explained.
Animal anatomy models
Animal species dissected in the same way as the human models, for comparative anatomy teaching.
DICOM imaging & clinical cases
Render CT and MRI data in DICOM format, or work from clinical cases provided for teaching use only.
Surgical simulation & planning
Educational preoperative planning with customizable bone plates and screws, spinal puncture and dental implant simulation, for teaching use only.
Tap a structure, get its name
Every anatomical part can be clicked for its definition and explanation.
Thousands of resources, one menu
Over a thousand pieces of anatomical and physiological reference material sit behind the same panel, system by system.
Growth stages you can rotate
Fetal development from week 5 to week 42, rendered in 3D rather than shown as a sequence of textbook plates.
Rich and unique teaching content
Six software packages on one table
All six packages are standard on the TBK-65 4K, TBK-84 EA and TBK-99 EA; the TBK-43 LT includes two as standard (Anatomy and OOOPDS Radiology). Each carries its own anatomical figures, imaging and teaching cases, and each is updated throughout the warranty period at no extra cost.
Anatomy
The core human anatomy library — every structure separable, every layer removable, with teaching points prepared for class use.
OOOPDS Radiology
Radiology module based on OOOPDS (FDA 510(k) K254214), for educational purposes only. DICOM CT and MRI studies read alongside the anatomical model, with clinical cases for teaching use.
Histopathology Atlas
Histology and pathology slides in high definition, zoomable to cellular level for tissue and pathology teaching.
CTRender
Volume rendering of CT and MRI data, so a real patient study can be turned into a three-dimensional object the class can turn over.
Embryology
Fetal development from week 5 to week 42, with embryonic pathologies described.
Animal Anatomy
Animal species for comparative anatomy, dissected to the same standard as the human models.
Technologies
What the table is doing underneath
A touchscreen, a rendering engine and a content platform, put together so that the person teaching never has to think about any of them.
Interactive touchscreen
An intuitive touch interface for engaging with and manipulating the anatomical models directly, with immediate control and no intermediate device.
High-resolution imaging
Ultra-high-definition rendering of anatomical structures, with a definition behind every click.
Thousands of resources
An extensive library of anatomical and physiological reference material, searchable from the same panel the models are driven from.
Real clinical cases
Built-in clinical case studies, and teaching staff can upload their own imaging to teach from.
Nursing & medical testing
Examination modules built for nursing and medical assessment, drawn from historical professional licensure papers.
Updates under warranty
New features and content arrive as software updates throughout the warranty period, at no additional cost.
Models
Choose the fit for your room, not for the brochure
Four sizes of the same platform, sized by how many people need to stand around the table at once. The 43-inch model moves between classrooms on its own castors; the 84 and 99-inch models rise from flat to upright on a single button, so a whole cohort can see a body at life scale.
TBK-43 LT
Lecture table · 2–4 people. The most compact model in the series. Small classrooms, compact laboratories and teacher-assisted podiums; light enough to be wheeled between rooms for mobile teaching.
TBK-65 4K
Small group · 5–7 people. Suited to histology and pathology slides. Tilts electronically to any angle.
TBK-84 EA
Larger group · 7–10 people. Built for large classrooms and anatomy laboratories. Remote-controlled electronic lifting switches the screen between upright and flat with one button.
TBK-99 EA
Large-scale course · 7–10 people. The largest digital touch anatomy table. Anatomical figures are shown at life scale.
