Comments(0)

It may seem like an unbelievable event and be happening on April Fool's Day but Anatomy Lab LIVE is definitely real and is definitely coming to Cornwall.

We announced last month that the intriguing tour where you have a two-course dinner before watching a "body" being dissected was coming to Cornwall and now the date and venue has been announced.

The sell-out tour Anatomy Lab LIVE will perform a live dissection of VIVIT the world's only semi-synthetic human cadaver for audiences this April.

Anatomist Samuel Piri will perform the dissection procedure to showcase health and disease on real internal organs at this unforgettable event.

VIVIT is a specially constructed synthetic human cadaver that houses real organs. During the procedure Samuel will dissect VIVIT to reveal the inside of the head and jaw demonstrating the brain and spinal cord.

Following this Samuel will open the thoracic cavity to show the trachea, lungs and heart followed by the abdominal cavity revealing the stomach, liver, gall bladder, intestines, kidneys and bladder.

All of VIVIT's organs are of swine origin due to their anatomical similarities with humans.

Live on stage Samuel will compare the human body in its healthy form to anatomical samples damaged by excessive alcohol consumption and smoking.

Audiences will have chance to put their questions to Samuel and to leading medics accompanying him on stage. Following the procedure the samples will be prepped for handling by those in the audience who wish to further examine the specimens.

The Cornwall tour event will be held at St Mellion International Resort on Saturday, April 1. The event begins at 6pm finishing at 11.45pm. Tickets include a two-course sit down meal before the procedure begins. Tickets are priced 60 per person or a group ticket that admits 6 is 300. All ticket holders must be over 16.
