Plastinated Sheep Brain

A Durable Brain For Demonstration and Study

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. These are great to use as preparation for a brain dissection, as the plastinated specimens will withstand rougher handling than the delicate preserved brains. Two versions are available. The whole brain has been plastinated completely, allowing students to closely examine the surface features of the brain and general structure. The ¹/₂ Brain allows students to view both the external and internal structures and organization of the brain.

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