Description
Lifelike accuracy is shown in color, texture and anatomical detail with this unbreakable spine cast from a complete natural spine. This copper spine is fully articulated and flexible to show vertebral movements and alignments, and is unlike many spines on the market because of the ultra-soft discs. These superior discs allow for more lifelike movement of the spine, and actually compress like a real human spinal disc. When the copper spine is moved in any direction, the affected vertebrae show how the discs compress and move. Comes with a male pelvis, occipital bone, arteries, spinal cord, nerve ends and flexibly mounted femur heads. The sacrum is sectioned and can be opened by a bony flap to show the course of spinal nerves. Complete with stand. Spine measures approximately 9.8 x 34 x 9.8 inches and weighs approximately 7.25 pounds.
Manufactured by medical artists and craftsmen in Germany. Backed by an industry-leading 5 year warranty.
