Description
Manufactured by medical artists and craftsmen in Germany, this Rudiger Anatomie Flexible Spine comes with a stand for mobile display, and is backed by an industry-leading 5 year warranty. The spine is presented with 3-colored spinal sections for increased detail. Spine height when displayed stands at just over 31 inches.
What separates this model apart from the competition is the three colored sections, highlighting the throat, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. The cranial bone can also be opened on the back to show the course of the nerves within the bone.
The copper spine is fully flexible, allowing for realistic demonstration and portrayal of natural human movement. It also includes flexible femur heads, a herniated disc, spinal nerves and arteries, all intervertebral discs, and occipital plate. These features were made possible because this spine has been cast from a specially selected, real human skeleton to capture all of the bony landmarks and elements.
For Rudiger Anatomie, this is just a standard skeleton, but for the competition, it is the standard in skeletons!
