Hard tissue models

All about
hard tissue models

Our hard tissue models are used for consultation and surgical planning, as object for demonstration purposes, for training and education, and in research and development. With the help of real CT data, detailed, patient-specific models can also be created.

Here you will find our hard tissue models:

Skull models (including template)
Petrous bone models
Osteotomy models

Zusatzleistung:

Postcranial models

Skull models

(incl. template)

In complex cases, even more detailed surgical planning can be helpful and useful. Upon request, we can produce models of the patient’s skull (or skull section) and the implant, as well as templates if necessary. The skull models can be edited by the physician and thus provide important information for planning the actual implant.

Material

Acrylate-based synthetic resin (methacrylate), steam sterilisable, suitable for short-term use on patients (e. g. for resection templates).

Advantages

Detailed representation of bone structures
Excellent workability for realistic surgical planning (non-sterile)
Lower costs due to upstream, more accurate surgical planning
Rapid availability

Application

Surgical planning
Research and development
Training and advanced education
Demonstration objects

Petrous bone models

The complex anatomy of the petrous bone demands extensive training before microsurgery should be performed on the middle ear. For this training, we provide a three-dimensional petrous bone model, developed in collaboration between the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at the University of Jena and 3di GmbH.

Petrous bone model for preparation

Advantages

Anatomical structures are easy to distinguish thanks to coloured backgrounds
Simplified learning during dissection

Application

Specialist training
General medical training and continuing education
Illustrative objects

Additional option:
mounting device for petrous bone model

The holder is an ideal addition and facilitates training on the petrous bone model.

Advantages

Simulation of the operation in a natural position
The model cannot slip and does not need to be secured in any other way
Hands can be placed comfortably
The holder is reusable

Petrous bone models for illustration purposes

Representation and illustration of the positional relationships of the internal structures of the human petrous bone.

Axial section, sagittal section, open version, halved, open version with bridge

Application

Specialist training
General medical training and advanced education
Illustrative objects (mastoidectomy)

Osteotomy models

In collaboration with the ENT University Clinic in Jena and the company 3di GmbH, a training model for operations on the bony bridge of the nose was developed. The bony part of the model is covered with a removable silicone layer to make the surgical simulation as realistic as possible.
