Upper limb: Blood vessels

Product code: HC3007

Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.

The vascular supply to the free part of the upper limb derives mainly from the brachial artery. The branching and continuity of this arterial tree is normally difficult to visualise. Knowledge of its position, branching helps explain the consequence of injury and informs safe surgical and interventional procedures. This Cast uniquely reveals the origin, position, and capacity (luminal diameter) of the blood vessels supplying the free part of the upper limb, their points of anastomosis, and their pattern of branching beyond named vessels.
