Female pelvic fasciae & viscera (sagittal cut)
Product code: HP0911
-
2 Halves Region / system / unpaired organ presented in two halves.
The pelvis houses and protects organs of the reproductive, urinary, and gastrointestinal systems, while simultaneously contributing to the structure of the trunk, transmitting forces between the trunk and lower limb, and providing attachment points for muscles acting on these regions. It represents a region of numerous functions and pathologies. This Silicone Plastinate reveals the fasciae, viscera and neurovasculature of the female pelvis, including the external genitalia, musculature of the gluteal region and proximal thigh, and key regions including the femoral triangle and inguinal canal. The pelvis is cut along the median plane and presented in two halves. To maximise visualisation and learning benefit, different structures, layers and dissection levels are shown on the left and right sides.

Key features include
General
- Whole female pelvis presented in two halves (median plane cut) with gluteal region and proximal thigh.
- Fascial layers and superficial level structures shown on one side, and deeper structures (most fascial layers removed) shown on the opposite side.
- Medial views of the female pelvis, with pelvic viscera and fascia in situ on one side, and most fascial layers removed and pelvic viscera reflected medially on the opposite side.
Fasciae
- Fascial layers of the abdominal wall including Camper’s and Scarpa’s fasciae (fatty and membranous layers of subcutaneous tissue), extraperitoneal fascia and parietal peritoneum.
- Fascial layers of the thigh including subcutaneous tissues, fascia lata and various epimysium.
- Fascial layers of the perineum including the subcutaneous tissue of the perineum, Colle’s fascia (membranous layer of subcutaneous tissue of the perineum) and fasciae of the ischioanal fossa.
- Fascial layers of the abdomen and pelvis including the parietal peritoneum and its formations and iliacus fascia.
- Interconnections between regional fascial layers.
- Cutaneous and subcutaneous neurovasculature, including perforator vessels and the great saphenous vein.
- Various superficial lymph nodes.
Muscles and regions - pelvis
- Transverse section of the vertebral column and abdominal wall at the level of the inferior lumbar vertebrae (approximately L3/L4).
- Median sagittal section through the pelvis, vertebral column, and inferior part of anterolateral abdominal wall.
- Part of the cauda equina with its meningeal coverings in the vertebral canal.
- Cross (transverse) sectional view of various epaxial muscles of the back.
- Muscles of the inferior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall, and their layered arrangement.

Muscles and regions - lower Limb
- Gluteus maximus cut and reflected to reveal deeper muscles and neurovasculature of the gluteal region.
- Muscles of the proximal thigh, mainly in their anatomical position.
- Various muscles are partially lifted to reveal underlying structures and regions, and the layered arrangements of muscles.
- Proximal attachment and position of the iliotibial tract and its associated muscles.
- Boundaries (most) and neurovascular contents of the femoral triangle.
- Femoral canal, femoral sheath, and fascial plane location of the femoral nerve.
- Proximal part and contents of the adductor canal.
Organs
