Description
What this equipment is and what it's designed for.
This 3D printed specimen preserves the distal thigh and proximal leg, highlighting the popliteal fossa and surrounding structures.
Proximal Thigh and Popliteal Fossa
The proximal cross-section shows the anterior, posterior, and medial compartment muscles, with the femoral artery and vein in the adductor canal, as well as the sciatic nerve and great saphenous vein. Posteriorly, the skin and fascia are removed to expose the popliteal space. A window in the semimembranosus reveals the popliteal vessels, while the great saphenous vein runs over the sartorius, which joins the semitendinosus and semimembranosus to form the pes anserinus. The superior lateral genicular artery and posterior iliotibial tract are also visible.
Distal Leg and Neurovascular Structures
The distal cross-section displays the continuation of popliteal contents. The great and small saphenous veins and medial and lateral sural cutaneous nerves are visible in the superficial fascia. Between muscles of the posterior, lateral, and anterior compartments, the neurovascular bundles of the leg are preserved, including the posterior tibial, anterior tibial, peroneal vessels and nerves, and superficial and deep peroneal nerves.
What you learn
Anatomical model modality. The competencies this equipment trains, in the language of the training plan.

- Distinguish the arrangement of artery, vein and nerve in depth.
- Locate the popliteal pulse against the landmarks on the model.
- Relate the anatomy to puncture and block in this region.
Cases and pathologies
The clinical scenarios that can be simulated with this equipment.
- Popliteal aneurysm.
- Popliteal vein thrombosis.
- Baker's cyst.
- Tibial and common peroneal nerve injury.
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.
