Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

This 3D printed cubital fossa presents a superficial dissection of the right distal arm and proximal forearm.
The skin and superficial fascia have been removed anteriorly, medially, and laterally to reveal the superficial veins—basilic, cephalic, and median cubital—as well as the cutaneous nerves (medial, lateral, and posterior antebrachial).
Deep Fascia and Connective Tissue
The deep fascia underlying the superficial structures has largely been removed, but the antebrachial fascia is retained medially to demonstrate the merging of connective tissue fibers with the tendon of the biceps brachii through the bicipital aponeurosis. Medially, the ulnar artery is visible entering the cubital tunnel proximal to the medial epicondyle of the humerus. Anteriorly, the median nerve, brachial artery, and accompanying veins run parallel to the biceps brachii. On the lateral aspect, the cephalic vein rests on the brachioradialis muscle, while the posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve lies on the common origin of the forearm extensors, just anterior to the exposed origin of the triceps brachii.
Cross-Sectional Anatomy
The proximal cross-section displays the anterior and posterior arm compartment muscles (biceps brachii, brachialis, triceps brachii), neurovascular bundles (median, ulnar, and radial nerves; brachial artery and veins), and superficial veins (basilic and cephalic) at the midshaft of the humerus.
The distal cross-section reveals the anterior and posterior forearm compartment muscles separated by the interosseous membrane, along with superficial and deep neurovascular bundles (radial artery, vein, and superficial branch of the radial nerve; ulnar artery, vein, and nerve; median nerve; anterior and posterior interosseous arteries, veins, and nerves) and the distal continuations of the superficial veins and cutaneous nerves.

  • Locate the vein of choice for venepuncture and its relation to the artery.
  • Explain the risk of puncturing medial to the crease.
  • Place the surface landmarks of the elbow.

Features and what's included

What the equipment does and what comes in the box, as described by the manufacturer.

Features

  • 3D printed replica made from radiological data or from a dissected cadaveric specimen, not a stylised model: this is real anatomy.
  • Developed and checked by the anatomists of the Human Anatomy Teaching Centre at Monash University.
  • Colourised to distinguish muscle, nerve, artery, vein and bone, and to separate territories or segments.
  • Not human tissue: no restrictions on transport, import or use in institutions without permission to work with cadavers.
  • Avoids the ethical and preservation problems that come with plastination.
  • Supplied with a detailed description of the anatomy represented in the specimen.
