Description
What this equipment is and what it's designed for.
This 3D print provides a detailed view of head and neck anatomy, showing different structures depending on the perspective.
Lateral Face and Parotid Region
A window exposes the parotid region, with the pinna intact and the mastoid process revealed by reflecting the sternocleidomastoid (SCM). The parotid gland is removed to display hidden structures, including the posterior digastric, masseter muscle, and mandibular condyle in the TMJ. The external carotid artery (ECA) and its branches, internal jugular vein (IJV), hypoglossal, vagus, spinal accessory, and facial nerves are clearly visible. Facial dermatomes are illustrated via the trigeminal nerve branches.
Brain and Cranial Cavity
The medial cerebrum shows the corpus callosum, thalamus, sulci, and gyri, while parts of the cerebellum are removed to expose the cranial fossae floor and fourth ventricle. The cavernous sinus, sella turcica, and intracranial course of cranial nerves II, III, V, VII–X, XI are displayed, including the facial canal and geniculate ganglion.
Medial Surface and Key Vessels
The parasagittal section reveals the lateral ventricle, cerebral peduncle, posterior cerebral artery, and the tentorium cerebelli. The internal carotid artery in the cavernous sinus is shown lateral to the optic chiasm. Additional structures include the mouth, tongue, associated muscles, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and cervical vertebrae.
What you learn
Anatomical model modality. The competencies this equipment trains, in the language of the training plan.
- Follow, in sagittal section, the continuity between nasal cavities, oropharynx, larynx, trachea and oesophagus.
- Place the epiglottis, the vocal cords and the laryngeal inlet.
- Explain the path of a nasogastric tube and that of an endotracheal tube.
- Relate head position to the alignment of the airway axes.
Cases and pathologies
The clinical scenarios that can be simulated with this equipment.
- Difficult intubation and airway planning.
- Nasogastric tube placement and its complications.
- Obstructive sleep apnoea.
- Dysphagia and aspiration.
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.
Services for this equipment
Services matter: the equipment gets commissioned, the staff know how to use it and maintenance is settled before you start. Include them in your budget and avoid having to raise a second purchase.
