Anatomical Models & Teaching Aids
Extensive Selection of Anatomical Models
Anatomical models are three-dimensional, life-like representations of the human body, showing its structures in life-size or enlarged form. Depending on the focus of the model, they can include skeletons, organ models, or dental models.
Organ models and skeletons are the most commonly used in human medicine. Unlike illustrations in books, anatomical models display the structures of the human body in 3D, providing a better learning experience. They are widely used in schools, universities, and biology classes, as well as in medical practices and hospitals. In clinical settings, models are often used to explain findings or surgical procedures to patients in a clear and visual way.
Different types of anatomical models include:
Skeleton Models
Skeleton models are plastic casts of real human bones and skeletons, designed to display anatomical structures clearly and accurately. Life-size skeleton models show the entire human skeleton. These models are typically mounted on a stand, allowing them to be viewed upright and easily moved.
There are also models that display only specific parts of the skeleton, such as the knee or elbow. In orthopaedic and physiotherapy practices, a spine model is often used to visually explain spinal conditions or injuries. Many skeleton models are articulated to demonstrate movement.
Organ Models
Organ models include all anatomical models that display human organs or organ systems. The torso model is one of the most popular organ models, providing an excellent overview of the position of the internal organs within the torso. Many organs can be removed from the model individually, allowing for a detailed study of their shape and location.
Individual organ models are also widely used. They are usually detachable to demonstrate anatomical structures. At Praxisdienst, you will find a removable eye model, a life-size heart model, and a transparent lung model, among others.
Training Models
A special category of anatomical models is medical training models. These are designed not for visual reference but for learning medical skills. Popular practice models include suture trainers and injection arms. Medical assistants, students, or nurses can practice venipuncture, suturing, or intramuscular injections on these models. We also offer first aid training models.
Acupuncture Models
Acupuncture models are anatomical models used to learn acupuncture points. They can depict a specific body part (foot, ear) or the entire body. Many models show both the acupuncture points and the meridians. Some soft-material models also allow practice of needle insertion.
Educational Wall Charts
Anatomical educational charts are ideal for patient education and are frequently used as teaching aids in medical training. We offer a wide selection of anatomy posters.
