Description
This 3D-printed anatomical model of the skull with sagittal craniosynostosis is a highly detailed and accurate model created from CT imagery. It provides a realistic representation of the skull, allowing for enhanced understanding of the anatomy of this condition.
The model is life-sized with ultra-realistic specificity. This allows both medical students and clinicians to study the various features of the skull and condition with ease. DASH designed this model to be easy to handle for close observation, including magnetic attachments allowing visualization of the internal and superficial features of the skull.
This replica is an essential tool for any medical professional or student studying this condition.
WHAT IS SAGITTAL CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS?
Craniosynostosis is a birth defect in which one or more sutures of the baby’s skull fuse too early, limiting or slowing the growth of the brain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 2,500 babies are born with craniosynostosis in the U.S. The type of craniosynostosis depends on the fused suture(s). This model represents the skull of a 3 to 4-month-old sagittal craniosynostosis patient. Out of the 5 types of craniosynostosis, sagittal is the most common. You can learn more here.
