Erler-Zimmer Spinal Disc Degeneration Model

Designed for the study of the stages of disc degeneration, the Erler-Zimmer Spinal Disc Degeneration Model consists of four vertebrae pairs, displaying three various pathologies as well as a normal disc. Each disc is supported by a magnetic plexiglass stand, and they can each be removed for individual study.

What's Included?

• 4 x Vertebrae Pairs
• 1 x Plexiglass base

Which Pathologies Does this Disc Degeneration Model Illustrate?

This disc degeneration anatomy model consists of four vertebrae pairs and shows three different pathologies, as well as a normal disc. The following are represented in this model: normal disc condition, slight disc damage, prolapsed disc with bone degeneration, and advanced bone and disc degeneration.

Perfect Educational Tool

Supplied on a base for easy display, this model makes a great aid to medical education and anatomy studies. It can be used in demonstrations with students, or as a tool to educate patients about degenerative disc disease.

What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Degenerative disc disease is the natural wearing down of the spinal discs over time, as one ages. Spinal discs are rubbery cushions between the vertebrae, which act as shock absorbers and allow for comfortable bending and twisting.

Applications of the Spinal Disc Degeneration Model

This model is a great tool for student and patient education, therefore particularly suited for use in the following professional institutions:

• Schools
• Universities
• Hospitals
• Doctor's offices
• Rehabilitation centres
• Laboratories

Plexiglass Stand

With a plexiglass stand included, the Erler Zimmer Disc Degeneration Model can be neatly displayed on a desk when not in use. Additionally, the four vertebrae pairs are attached magnetically onto the stand, and can each be removed for an in-depth study of each individual piece.

Moveable Vertebrae Pairs

Each vertebrae pair cannot be dismantled however is flexible to demonstrate bending movement as seen in the image below.
