We design and build cutting-edge dissection laboratories for anatomical training in medical schools.
The Gold Standard of
Anatomical Training
At Vesalius, we don't just build labs, we help shape the future of medical education. Our solutions transform how medical students learn, practice, and experience anatomy in an environment that is safe, advanced, and thoughtfully designed.
Beyond education - a better way to learn anatomy.
Dissecting real cadavers is a vital part of becoming a great physician.
At Vesalius, we believe technological innovation and safety should go hand in hand.
Our mission is to make high-quality anatomical training accessible, safe, and future-ready.
Two powerful systems. One uncompromising standard.
At Vesalius, we build advanced dissection laboratories for medical schools, all based on a single, uncompromising principle: effective Formaldehyde vapor treatment. This foundation drives every aspect of our design - ensuring safer, more ergonomic environments for anatomical training with human cadavers, while delivering exceptional educational value.
We provide two distinct solutions for different spatial, budgetary, and operational requirements.
Ideal for institutions seeking plug-and-play functionality, mobility, and independence from external infrastructure - The Andreas is a custom-designed modular laboratory composed of dissection beds with built-in, self-contained formaldehyde filtration systems.
A flagship dissection facility built for institutions with large-scale anatomical programs, prioritizing centralized control, safety, and efficiency. The Fabrica Lab features a custom-designed infrastructure with a centralized and external formaldehyde vapor treatment and ventilation system that connects seamlessly to multiple workstations.
Agile. Self-contained. Ready to deploy.
The Andreas Lab is a modular dissection lab solution built around independently ventilated workstations. Each station features advanced built-in suction and activated carbon filtration that captures formaldehyde fumes directly at the source - no external infrastructure required.
Whether configured as a small plug-and-play lab with just a few stations in any existing room, or as a larger multi-station setup within a custom-designed space, Andreas delivers uncompromising safety, flexibility, and performance - without the need for external filtration infrastructure.
Ideal for institutions seeking a cost-effective, mobile, and scalable approach to high-quality anatomical training.
Full mobility
Standalone functionality
No dependency on external utilities

Because safety should never be optional.
Formaldehyde Management:
Medical students who are exposed to formaldehyde for extended periods during dissection are at risk of serious health effects, including fatigue, dizziness, eye irritation, nasal discomfort, and headaches. These symptoms are not isolated incidents, they reflect a widespread and well-recognized response to prolonged formaldehyde exposure in poorly ventilated environments.
A recent academic study reinforces this concern, reporting that nearly 45% of medical students working in dissection labs experienced fatigue or dizziness. Many others reported additional symptoms tied directly to inadequate ventilation and the presence of formaldehyde fumes.
While formaldehyde remains essential for preserving cadavers, it becomes harmful when unmanaged. Our built-in ventilation system effectively captures and filters hazardous fumes using activated carbon, all without requiring external ductwork or compromising room temperature. This ensures a safer, more controlled environment for students and staff alike.
We offer a complete turnkey solution - from master planning to construction - tailored to the specific needs of each institution.
About Ventilation & Engineering:
With over 70 years of experience in industrial ventilation and air quality systems, our parent company brings unmatched expertise to the world of medical education. Vesalius is built on that foundation with a vision for the future.
