Product Review

New from Axis Scientific, this complete vertebral column is a perfect choice for patient education at a great price. This exceptional piece allows for a thorough study, as well. It displays the spinal nerves clearly, as well as the cervical vertebral artery. The occipital plate is also present. The spine itself is fully flexible, featuring a newly improved core for even more realistic flexibility. The model will hold up to many patient demonstrations. Patients love the realistic bone texture, too. While this spine is ideal for general patient information sessions, it also displays a herniated disc between the L3 and L4 vertebrae. Herniated discs, also called slipped discs, are commonly attributed to aging, but can also occur in instances of physical trauma, lifting injury, or strain. This detail allows medical professionals to display this condition easily and clearly. The spine is of a realistic size and weight, and is accompanied by a simple but attractive metal stand for easy display. The hook at the occipital plate allows the spine to be rotated while hanging on the stand, too, making it easy to display both sides. Axis Scientific presents a unique combination of value and detail - A rarity in the anatomical industry! With quality in every model and an expert support team to answer your questions, we are sure you will love Axis from day one. Made by Axis Scientific and backed by a 3 year warranty. Measures 12.5x34x8.5 inches when hanging from stand. Spine alone is 29 inches in length. Weighs 5.5 lbs.
