Accurate, compact, comes with a stand. |

Small adult size, more accurate ribcage than the usual competition from Germany, has a demountable sacrum with a removable dorsum, flexible intervertebral discs, and well-finished surfaces, i.e., not much flash visible. I'm a medical illustrator and I don't do a lot of thoracic subjects, but when I do, my current skeleton, which is still available cheap everywhere, simply doesn't work. For whatever reason, its ribcage is misshapen(How did they manage that?). Ribs just don't curve that way. This new D-G one doesn't have that problem. I plan to suspend it for storage and access, but it comes with a very solid, well-designed, welded steel floor stand, and stores compactly. It also has the usual yellow rubber spinal cord with peripheral nerves poking out of the vertebral column. Note that this skeletal torso does have proximal femurs, but no shoulder girdle, the scapulae and clavicles. It's still a better and more accurate presentation of the ribcage in particular than can be had without buying either a natural bone skeleton or something from The High-Priced German Anatomical Model Supplier, either of which would be prohibitively expensive for a one-man operation like mine. For the price, this is the best torso skeleton available.
