Plastinated Pig Kidney

Show Your Students What To Expect From Their Dissection.

The whole kidney is not divided and allows for external examination only.
The bisected kidney is cut longitudinally after plastination and allows students to examine and view the internal and external anatomy of the kidney.

Produced for Ward's by Dalian Hoffen, an innovator in the techniques of plastination, plastinated specimens combine anatomical models and real-life dissections. The process of plastination gives these preserved specimens durability allowing for regular handling and a full view of the specimen. The process also maintains all of the detail from an expertly dissected specimen, but without any odor. The durability of plastinated specimens are designed for lab practicals, as guides for dissection, as a display similar to a museum mount, or as a study specimen.
