Life-Size Shoulder Joint Model with Ligaments for Educational Purposes

The model demonstrates a life-size shoulder joint with ligaments. The model is a scapula and a fragment of the humerus on which the articular cartilage (including the articular lip) of the surfaces involved in the formation of the shoulder joint are simulated. The capsule, as well as the beak-shoulder and intrinsic ligaments of the scapula are modelled.

Fixation of the shoulder is achieved by elastic ties orientated in the direction of the muscles attaching to the humerus. The attachment points of the muscles acting on the shoulder are marked on the humerus. The design features of the model allow for shoulder movement in three main anatomical planes.

The product is intended for studying the anatomy of the shoulder joint and mechanism of its movements, demonstration of variants of displacement of articular surfaces in case of injuries. The model is movable, on a stand. Weight: 0.52kg; Size (on stand): 18 x 23 x 22.5 cm.
