What is BriteVu®-GAX?

BriteVu®-GAX is a terminal high-radiodensity contrast agent specifically designed for the visualization of vascular structures in human cadaveric subjects.  It is water-soluble allowing for a vast array of imaging modalities including MRI, X-Ray, CT, digital fluoroscopy, and ultrasound.

What is the Preservation process?

The proprietary preservation process is used to ensure specimen stability and handling characteristics that mimic live tissue (without bleeding).  Preserved cadavers have no toxic fumes and retain their tissue integrity for several months with basic refrigeration and maintenance in between use.
