Human: Complete Skeletons / Spines

32-week-old fetal skeleton designed to flex at the joints and neck A flexible fetal skeleton should prove invaluable to neonatal and perinatal educators. The resource will enable educators to physically demonstrate the impact gravity has on the underdeveloped/immature human skeleton. Educators can show positional deformation, thereby illustrating the impact of poor supportive positioning and the potential for associated lifelong morbidity. Traditionally, fetal development occurs in utero; however, this skeletal model provides the clinician with unique insight into the developmental processes that occur 'behind closed doors.' Such insight makes clear the vital importance of developmental care. From a positioning perspective, this model's anatomic accuracy provides the visual and functional evidence necessary to positively impact clinical practice in the neonatal intensive care unit.
