This Equine Hoof 3D Printed Model - Model 3 has been carefully designed and printed based on CT and MR data.

This anatomically accurate and life-sized full-colour 3D printed model is a valuable equine and veterinary training tool. With each anatomical component colour coded, this model helps students to understand the full anatomy of a horse's hoof.

This Equine Hoof 3D Printed Model is part of a series from Erler Zimmer which consists of four models. These range from models showing anatomical structures to models showing deeper structures.

The bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage listed below can be found on model 1, 2, 3 and 4. However, with this model (3) students will also be able to learn about how the deep digital flexor tendon is sectioned, the tendon’s relationship to the distal sesamoid bone and the impar ligament. On this model, one ungular cartilage is absent to show the collateral ligaments of the distal sesamoid bone.

Third metacarpal bone; Proximal sesamoid bones; Proximal phalanx; Middle phalanx; Distal phalanx; Distal sesamoid (navicular) bone; Ungular cartilages; Collateral ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal joint; Collateral ligaments of the proximal interphalangeal joint and the abaxial palmar ligaments of the foot; Collateral ligaments of the distal interphalangeal joint; Collateral ligament of the distal sesamoid (navicular) bone; Distal sesamoidean impar ligament; Proximal scutum and intersesamoidean ligament; Cruciate sesamoidean ligament; Short sesamoidean ligaments; Oblique sesamoidean ligaments; Straight sesamoidean ligament; Axial palmar ligaments of the foot; Suspensory ligament and extensor branches; Deep digital flexor tendon; Superficial digital flexor tendon; Common digital extensor tendon.

Hoof capsules can be purchased separately, helping to anchor the distal limb in the stance position.

Did you know we also stock model 1, model 2 and model 4.
