Skeletal Models

In addition to bone models of individual structures, such as joint models or skulls, our online shop also offers complete human skeletons – both as life-size models and in reduced scale. The life-size skeletons typically feature a flexible spine and movable limbs, allowing various movement patterns to be clearly demonstrated.

For more detailed demonstrations, some anatomical skeletons allow individual limbs, such as arms or legs, to be detached and moved separately. As a teaching aid, for example during medical studies, a complete unassembled skeleton set is also available, which must be assembled by the user.

Smaller skeleton models, such as the Mini Skeleton at 42 cm in height, are particularly suitable as desktop models. This allows physicians to easily demonstrate the human musculoskeletal system during patient consultations. For stability, the models are mounted on a stand.

Didactic skeleton models are primarily designed for educational purposes but can also be used to illustrate specific anatomical structures. The anatomical details are colour-coded, making it easier to distinguish individual bones, muscles, or ligaments.

In our online shop, for example, you will find the “Didactic Spine with Pelvis,” a life-size model that allows the anatomy of the spine to be demonstrated clearly. The cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae, as well as the sacrum and coccyx, are easily distinguishable thanks to different colouring. Additional anatomical details such as intervertebral discs, spinal nerves, vertebral arteries, and the male pelvis are also represented.

Some of the didactic models are detachable, allowing an even more detailed visualisation of human anatomy. For instance, with the “Coloured Skull” available in our online shop, the movable lower jaw and the skull cap can be removed, providing a clear view of the interior of the human skull.
