Osteoporosis Model

Osteoporosis Model

• Didactic comparison model comparing osteoporotic and normal thoracic vertebrae (T11 and T12)
• Reproductions of sequential osteoporotic thoracic vertebrae with narrower intervertebral disc are located on the left of the stand
• The upper vertebra is divided in the middle
• The magnetically attached vertebral half can be removed easily to show the cut surfaces
• Clear visualization of the fractured upper part of the vertebral body caused by sintering, i.e. collapse of the bony substance in the course and as a result of osteoporosis
• Degenerative changes in the bone, manifested as osteophytes, are also identifiable
• For comparison, reproductions of two corresponding healthy vertebrae with intervertebral disc are provided on the right side
• One-half of the upper vertebral body is magnetically attached and can be removed
• Base includes a detailed illustration of two 3D micro CT images from bone biopsies, showing the microarchitecture of osteoporotic bone with lower density compared to healthy bone
• Ideal for medical education and patient consultation, offering clear visual contrast between normal and osteoporotic bone structures
• Dimensions: 5.5" x 3.5" x 3.9"
• Product Weight: 0.52 lb
