Erler-ZimmerHeart, flexible - didactic version - transparent

The transparent flexible Heart in the didactic version by Erler-Zimmer is based on CT scan data of a healthy adult man and presents all external and internal structures in an anatomically correct way. The soft, translucent material already hints at deeper structures from the outside, while the heart model is opened at various points. The transparent version thus combines the view through the wall with access to the interior. A model for anatomical studies and for explaining the function of the heart.

The transparent heart model is used in medical training, in cardiology and in patient education. The see-through material makes it easier to convey the relative position of the ventricles, atria and valves.

• Heart model in soft, translucent material, based on a CT scan
• All external and internal structures anatomically correct
• Transparency reveals deeper structures from the outside
• Opened at several points for access to the interior of the heart
• For anatomical studies and explaining cardiac function
• Soft material for a hands-on approach

Compared with the opaque heart model, the transparent version has the edge when the spatial relationship of the chambers to one another is the focus. The translucent material shows structures along their course, while the opened areas allow direct access. For demanding anatomical studies, this variant is the more thorough choice.

This transparent Heart Model by Erler-Zimmer is available at saneq for anatomy teaching in Switzerland.
