Perfectly matched to curricular needs
Bespoke Plastinates by von Hagens Plastination enables qualified users to create unique Silicone Plastinates that perfectly match their curricular and learner needs. By facilitating deep integration with curricular outcomes, Bespoke Plastinates takes the optimization of educational-ecosystems to the next level.
From multiple sources of inspiration
Bespoke designs are often developed using a combination of resources, such as existing prosections, textbook images, anatomical sketches, conceptual drawings, text descriptions and discussions with our team. Designs range from adaptations of Silicone Plastinates within our product range, to novel creations designed from the ground up.
Collaboration at every step
Bespoke offers a unique opportunity to work with our world-leading team. During each step of the design and creation process clients collaborate closely with our Director of Anatomy and Plastination. Support, advice, and updates are tailored to meet the needs of the project and client.
Reimagining the possible
Compared to traditional tissue preservation techniques, plastination permits a far greater range of options for design and structure positioning, enabling vision to become reality. When working with our team, clients quickly discover a new world of design opportunities.
Bespoke plastinates provide unique layered views of systems or regions, some recreate classic text-book images, some target threshold concepts, some focus on surface and positional anatomy, and some reveal anatomy relevant to clinical and surgical practice. But this is just the start; the possibilities are extensive and the learning benefits are significant.
Become immersed in the process
Clients are welcome to choose their level of involvement in the creative process. Many choose a hands-on approach, involving themselves in decision-making throughout. This often includes visiting our facility in Guben (Germany) during various stages of the process, to ensure the ultimate in customization and optimization.
Available to qualified users only.
Got a question about Bespoke Plastinates?
What is the plastination process and how does it work?
Where does the human tissue used in von Hagens Plastination specimens come from?
von Hagens Plastination exclusively uses human tissue derived from body donors that have donated their body for plastination for anatomical and healthcare education. All donations are made in life under full and informed consent. The body donation program is managed by the Institute for Plastination and is subject to independent audit.
Can I order Silicone Plastinates or Bones with pathologies?
Due to their unpredictable and sometimes uncommon nature, Silicone Plastinates and Bones showing defined pathologies are only available on a limited basis. You can read more about our Pathology range here. Please contact us or your sales representative for information on availability.
