Plastinated Pig Heart

Expert Dissection and Double Injection Highlight Coronary Vasculature.

Produced for Ward's by Dalian Hoffen, a world innovator in the techniques of plastination, plastinated specimens combine the best of anatomical models and real-life dissections. The process of plastination gives these preserved specimens a great durability allowing for regular handling and a full view of the specimen. The process also maintains all of the detail you would expect from an expertly dissected specimen, but without any odor. The durability of plastinated specimens make them ideal for lab practicals, as guides for dissection, as a display similar to a museum mount, or as a study specimen. Both hearts are injected to highlight heart vasculature. The whole heart is not divided and allows for external examination only. The bisected heart is cut longitudinally and displayed open, allowing students to examine and view the internal and external anatomy of the heart.

As these are actual specimens, not painted replicas, each is unique and may vary from the photograph.
