Organ models and structural models are important aids in medical education, therapy and consultation. These models provide a clear representation of anatomical structures and organs, facilitating the understanding of complex relationships. This category comprises various types of models, in particular torso models, which depict the human trunk in different versions.
Variety of organ and structural models
In this category you will find a wide range of models that differ in size, number of parts and level of detail. Typical models are, for example, 12- to 28-part, with dimensions of approximately 23 to 40 cm in width and 33 to 90 cm in height. The weight varies depending on the model between approximately 9 and 10.4 kilograms. The models can be gender-neutral or dual-sex and often show anatomical features such as opened back sections or special medical access points such as tracheostomies.
Selection criteria and areas of application
The choice of a suitable organ or structural model depends on the intended use. For training in anatomy and physiotherapy, detailed and multi-part models are advisable, as they allow individual organs to be taken apart and examined closely. Models with open backs or special medical features offer additional teaching opportunities. In this field, the erler-zimmer brand is renowned for high-quality and realistic models.
Organ models are versatile in their application, for instance in the training of medical professionals, in patient consultations to illustrate clinical presentations, or in therapeutic practice to explain treatment procedures.
