This life-size, plastic hand model features the bones of the hand and wrist and allows for demonstration of the anatomy and functionality of the joints. The metacarpal bones are mounted on springs and the carpal joints are wired to allow some degree of joint movement of the wrist and fingers.
The anatomical hand and wrist model consists of a portion of the ulna and radius, the carpal bones (trapezium, trapezoi, hamate, capitate, scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum and pisiform), the five metacarpal bones, the proximal and distal phalange bones of the thumb, and the proximal, middle and distal phalanges of the fingers.
The hand joint model comes mounted on a stand, which can be removed for closer inspection of the anatomy model by loosening two screws. A good value, budget hand and wrist model to study the basic structure and function of the upper limb. Ideal for physiotherapy and occupational therapy clinics, GP surgeries and schools.
