Arthroscopy Model of the Knee Joint

Natural size model made of synthetic smooth cutaneous and muscular covers (kept in place by four synthetic screws) in which the bones of the knee joint are embedded. The anterior outer cover has four access points to the articular internal area - two lateral, one central and one medial. There is also one lateral and one medial access opening to the posterior recess. The Hoffa’s fat body is shown and can be taken off and replaced by an adhesive catch. The internal and external menisci are anchored by plug-in threads and can be easily exchanged and replaced. The ligamentous apparatus, i.e. the lateral ligaments and the cruciate ligaments, are represented nearly true-to-nature. An easy exchange of the ligaments is possible because of the screw and plug-in joints. The patellar ligament is shown and the patella can be exchanged. After removal of the cutaneous-muscular covers one can use the bones with the ligaments as a functional knee-joint model. The mounting support at the thigh is suitable for mounting in an operating vice. H16 cm, W17 cm, D53 cm, Wt 2.5 kg.
