Erler-Zimmer Fetal Skull Model with Calvarium Cut (40 Weeks)
An incredibly detailed model, the Erler-Zimmer Fetal Skull Model with Calvarium Cut (40 Weeks), ensures medical students gain complete observation of a 40-week-old human skull in the classroom. The model also uniquely demonstrates a cut along the calvarium, and provides access to the endocranium for the study of its anatomy.
What's Included?
- 1 x Fetal Skull Model w/ Calvarium Cut
Features of the Fetal Skull Model with Calvarium Cut
- Fetal skull model with sutures for the study of all bones in the fetal skull
- Supports pre-natal development study of the human skull at 40 weeks pregnancy
- Detailed representation featuring numerous structures
- Bone material feels and looks like real bone
- Supports medical students and can be used as patient education tool
What Makes This Fetal Skull Model Different?
This Erler-Zimmer Fetal Skull Model features a calvarium cut, and is perhaps the only fetal skull model out there that features this. By removing the calvarium, trainee doctors or osteologists are able to learn the complex anatomy of the endocranium, especially the pathways of the foramina skull base and the orbit.
What Skull Components Is this Model Made Up Of?
The details of the Fetal Skull Model with Calvarium Cut consist of the following:
- Sutures - which form along the bony plates and help fuse the fetal skull as the individual ages
- Fontanelles - which become bone over time
- Ossicles- smallest bones in the middle ear
Life-Like Bone Material
This Erler-Zimmer Fetal Skull Model is made from a life-like material. This allows the model to look and feel like real bone for an enhanced study of the anatomy of a fetal skull and endocranium.
Patient Education Tool
Not just beneficial for medical students to study, this model can also act as a patient education tool in hospitals or GP's clinics. Doctors may use this model as a visual aid when discussing any birth defects such as anencephaly, or discussing concerns pregnant women may have about giving birth.
What is Anencephaly?
Anencephaly is a type of birth defect that happens when the brain, skull and scalp do not develop properly in the uterus. Portions of the fetal brain and skull are missing, and babies born with this condition die within hours or days.
