Description
This incredible spine is unlike most other spine models, as it includes a female pelvis. The copper spine is fully flexible, allowing for realistic demonstration and portrayal of natural human movement. It also includes flexibly mounted femur heads, a herniated disc, spinal nerves and arteries, all intervertebral discs, and occipital plate. Another feature that makes this spine stand out from the rest is that is has been cast from a specially selected, real human skeleton to capture all of the bony landmarks and elements. This provides as much detail and accuracy as possible, aside from purchasing an actual cadaver. It is accompanied by the simple metal stand for hanging and display.
This model has been made to stand the test of time, being manufactured by medical artists and craftsmen in Germany. Backed by an industry-leading 5 year warranty.
