Superficial structures of the wrist & hand

Product code: HP0508

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

The hand is a complex and dynamic functional unit, capable of a remarkably wide range of actions from delicate and dextrous, to purposeful and powerful. It achieves this via a combination of muscles, tendons, pulleys and joint types, the ability to oppose the fingers with the thumb, and a rich sensory and motor nerve supply. This Silicone Plastinate reveals the muscles, tendons, arteries, veins and nerves of the distal forearm and hand, mostly in their anatomical position. The course, branching and destination of key neurovascular structure are revealed alongside common points for their access, entrapment, damage, or local block.

Stand mounted
Human tissue with unique ID
Full aftersales support
Polymer injected arteries & veins

Key features include

General

Distal forearm and hand.
Most neurovasculature in-situ.

Muscles and regions

Thumb and fingers partially abducted.
Muscles of the distal forearm, and hand, shown mainly in the anatomical position.
Boundaries and neurovascular contents of key regions, including the carpal tunnel, ulnar (Guyon) canal and radial foveola (anatomical snuffbox).
Boundaries of the region (site) for radiocarpal joint injection/aspiration.
Palmar aponeurosis lifted and reflected to reveal underlying neurovasculature and tendons.
Carpal tunnel and associated contents in their anatomical position.
Posterior (extensor) compartments of the wrist and associated tendons.
Pulley system of fingers both in-situ and opened on some fingers to reveal the arrangement of the flexor tendons.
Muscles of the hand, including interossei, lumbricals, thenar and hypothenar.
Extensor expansions of the hand, with associated attachments of the muscles of the hand.

Neurovasculature

Key superficial veins, including the dorsal network of hand, cephalic and basilic veins.
Relationship of superficial veins with various cutaneous nerves.
Course, relations, and branches of key nerves, including the ulnar, median, and radial nerves.
Course, relations, and branches of key arteries, including the ulnar and radial arteries.
Superficial and deep palmar arches and their digital branches.
Origin, course and relations of the digital nerves and arteries in the hand.
