Luxury skull for advanced studies, in 14 parts Erler Zimmer 4800:

The Luxury Skull for Advanced Studies, in 14 Parts Erler Zimmer 4800 is a decomposable anatomical model of the human skull, simple to understand, is an excellent choice for advanced anatomical study and is also recommended as a medical gift.

This innovative skull model is made from an actual cast of a real human specimen and shows all anatomical structures in great detail.

It is intended for students of anatomy, medicine, surgery, otolaryngology, ophthalmology and dentistry.

The skull is finely dissected and reassembled with metal and magnetic connections.

The calvarium is dissected horizontally leaving the temporal bone and its sutures intact.

Bony impressions of the superior sagittal sinus, transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus as well as the meningeal vessels were painted.

The base portion of the skull was sectioned through the sagittal plane in the manner that it passes through a cribriform plate on one side and through the other cribriform plate of the ethmoid leaving intact the perpendicular crista galli plate of the ethmoid as well as the entire nasal septum.

The structures of the anterior, middle and posterior cranial fossae are easily accessible.

The nasal cavity, concha, nasal septum, pharyngeal and naso-pharyngeal bony spaces can be directly visualized.

The nasal septum is separable from the surrounding bones.

The frontal sinuses were dissected on one side to show the sinus in its entirety and on the other side chiseled for full access to the sinus.

The relationship of this sinus to the nasal cavity is clearly shown and is particularly valuable to otolaryngologists.

On one side of the skull the temporal bone has been left in situ.

The other temporal bone is removable from the skull.

Part of the mastoid and squama can be removed along with the tympanic antrum, uncovering the inner ear in full view.

All three semicircular canals are visible along with the course of the facial nerve that runs backward and then downward finally emerging through the stylo-mastoid foramen.

The removable temporal bone has the external auditory meatus intact.

A nearly vertical section was made through the squama mastoid process and brought inward along the petro-squamous junction, and when separated, the position of the tympanic membrane is seen. The carotid canal has been opened as has the cochlea, showing the inner canal, and the course of the facial nerve has been depicted.

The maxilla and mandible expose the dentition structures, roots, the bony margin of the alveolar process, dental vessels and nerves are visible. The maxillary sinus can be opened by removing a bony flap.

The teeth of the right mandible are dissected to show the internal tooth structure.

How was the Erler Zimmer skull made?

The Luxury Skull for Advanced Studies, 14-part Erler Zimmer 4800 skull represents a unique technological breakthrough in the field of educational anatomical models, made from a real cast of a human being was digitally scanned to reproduce all anatomical details of the human skull with unprecedented accuracy.

The luxury skull for advanced studies, 14-part Erler Zimmer 4800 is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is very hard, lightweight and corrosion resistant. PVC resists reactions with acids, alcohol gasoline, and hydrocarbons.
