For clinicians, physiotherapists, and anatomy educators who need a tangible, hands-on tool to communicate the mechanics of lumbar disc herniation to patients and students at the point of care.

This model of two lumbar vertebrae in about double life size has the opportunity to demonstrate a lateral intervertebral disc hernia. If the two vertebrae are pressed together, the inner core of the disc will be protruding to the outside, forming a hernia. The protruding hernia shows graphically the pressure which affects the spinal nerve. With this helpful tool you can demonstrate fast and easily what happens when a patient suffers from a herniated disc. Because of the enlarged size it is easy to handle and also suitable for group teaching.
