Manikin

Anatomical Manikin / Models

The three-dimensional portrayal of an animal or human autonomy is known as an Anatomical Manikin. It helps medical students to examine the structural details of many organisms in the finest way possible or their components in a 3D manner. In most cases, the models can be easily dismantled/disassembled just in a way as you would see in a professional dissection surgery.

What does the word "Anatomical" mean?

The word ‘ anatomical ‘ means relating to the structure of bodies of animals and humans/people.

What actually is known to be Anatomy?

The study of the structure of an animal or a plant is referred to as Anatomy. The human anatomy generally includes tissues, cells, and organs that combine the body and the way how they are organized in a particular manner into the body.

What are the various anatomical features of the human body?

The detailed list of human anatomical features could include:

  • Head - Eye, Ear
  • Nose - Nostril
  • Mouth - Lip, Philtrum, Jaw, Mandible (Lower Jaw), Gingiva (Gums), Tooth, Tongue
  • Throat - Adam’s apple
    • Vertebral Column
  • Arm - Elbow, Wrist
  • Hands - Fingers, Thumb, Nails
  • Skin - Hair
  • Chest (Thorax) - Breast
    • Abdomen (Stomach)
  • Sex Organs - Penis ( Present in males ), Scrotum (Present in males), Vulva (Present in females)
  • Leg - Thigh
  • Knee - Kneecap
  • Shinbone
  • Calf
  • Ankle
  • Foot - Toes

    • Why are the Anatomical Manikins need to be considered so important?

    The Manikins are the most efficient way of explaining the functions and anatomical relationship in structures that might be too small to discover competently in, what is known to be a ‘ cadaver ‘ or that are usually considered to be constrained by some other structures. So, the study of anatomy is considered to be enhanced and facilitated through the use of the best possible and most accurate anatomical Manikin.

    Why are Manikins are considered to be really important while using them to study?

    Medical instructors and doctors make use of torso Manikins to demonstrate the complicated structure and functions of the internal organs. Human torso Manikins are considered to be an excellent study aid for medical students in order to gain a proper and deeper understanding of the structure of the human body and organs that are internally present.

    What are Anatomical Manikins are usually made up of?

    Various kinds of plastic materials could be beneficial in manufacturing of anatomical Manikins for studying or practicing procedures. The most common material in research could be silicon because it is comparatively considered to be handled simply and does not require any special kind of lab equipment.

    What are all kinds of Anatomical Manikins / Models available to purchase or study upon?

    There are ample varieties and categories of anatomical models/Manikins that are available for study purposes as well as for buying:
  • Skeleton Manikin
  • Skull Models
  • Spine Models
  • Vertebrae Models
  • 3D Printed Anatomy Models
  • Muscle Models
  • Torso Modelss

  • Microanatomy Models
  • Skin Models
  • Urology Models
  • Microanatomy Models
  • CPR Training Models
  • AED Trainers Models
  • Fluoroscopy Trainers Models

    • What polymer is generally used in making the Anatomical Manikin?
    PLA thermoplastic polymer is used to print all the models/Manikins because it is considered to be most widely suitable polymeric material.

    What type of a body is considered to be the perfect example of an Anatomical Manikin?
    The height of the model should generally be between 5’9”-6”, The waist should be between 32”-36”, The hips should be between 33”-35” and the bust should be between 32”-36”.

    What body type is most suitable for the Manikins / Models?
    The body type of a body most of the models are Ectomorphs. It is a type of a body type with little body fat, have long and lean structure and with a little fat too. The body type is as it had a hard time gaining some weight. Basketball players and fashion models can easily fall under this category.

    How can we take a good care of Anatomical Models?
    Anatomical Models are naturally made / designed to last with proper care of theirs. It can remain serviceable for classroom use if you clean the units and it can also make the handling of the model comparatively more hygienic which could result in lower cross contamination risks. The cleaning should be in a routine and it would just require soft cloth and a soapy water. A mild antibacterial clear could also help in minimizing the germs that naturally accompanies so many hands that touches the unit. You should be very careful while washing the Manikins with alcohol because it can crack the vinyl which is present on the model. So basically, just try avoiding alcohol.
