How To Choose Human Anatomy Model

Human anatomy models are crucial tools for medical teaching, research, and clinical training; their quality and professionalism directly impact teaching effectiveness and research accuracy. Whether in basic anatomy courses at medical schools or clinical skills drills in medical institutions, a structurally accurate and clearly detailed anatomical model helps learners intuitively understand the spatial relationships, tissue layers, and physiological characteristics of human organs, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional planar teaching. With the development of biological teaching technology, the variety of anatomical models on the market is increasingly rich. How to select models based on material safety, structural accuracy, and teaching suitability has become a core concern for educational institutions and research units.

Regarding material selection, mainstream products mostly use environmentally friendly PVC, high-strength resin, or medical-grade silicone. Environmentally friendly PVC is resistant to acids and alkalis and has anti-aging properties, making it suitable for long-term repeated use; resin allows for finer texture depiction and is often used to create intricate anatomical structures (such as nerve and blood vessel branches); medical-grade silicone, with its excellent flexibility and tactile feel similar to human tissue, is used for surgical simulation training models. All these materials must pass RoHS and SGS safety certifications to ensure they are odorless, non-irritating, and meet safety standards for teaching environments.

Models must strictly adhere to anatomical standards. For example, full-body skeletal models must conform to adult or child proportions, and joint range of motion must be within physiological limits. The labeling error for anatomical terms, blood vessel and nerve pathways, etc., must be controlled within 0.5mm, conforming to the "Human Anatomical Terminology" standard. Internal organ models (such as liver, gallbladder, and pancreas) should support multi-part disassembly for easy observation of internal structures and adjacent relationships.

Anatomy models are further categorized based on application scenarios: Basic teaching models emphasize structural integrity; for example, full-body muscle anatomy models must fully represent the distribution of superficial, intermediate, and deep muscles. Research-grade models emphasize dynamic functional simulation; for example, heart pulsation models can demonstrate the contraction and relaxation process through built-in mechanical structures. Clinical training models focus on operational feedback; for example, puncture training models simulate the resistance and needle insertion feedback of real tissues.

Meiwo provides highly realistic soft silicone human anatomy models made of food-grade silicone, which is non-toxic and odorless, and supports learning combined with virtual reality technology. Meiwo silicone anatomical models cover a full range of models including bones, muscles, and internal organs. The structural design strictly follows the "Atlas of Human Anatomy in China," supports modular assembly, and is suitable for basic medical applications.
