A Lumbar Sacrum Model is an anatomical teaching tool designed to accurately represent the lower portion of the human spine, specifically the lumbar vertebrae and sacrum. This model is commonly used in medical education, chiropractic training, and physical therapy to study spinal alignment, nerve pathways, and lower back anatomy.
Key Features:
Detailed Lumbar Vertebrae: Typically includes L1 to L5 vertebrae, showing the size, shape, and intervertebral spacing characteristic of the lower spine.
Sacrum and Coccyx: Accurately molded sacrum (S1–S5 fused vertebrae) and coccyx provide a realistic view of the spine’s base and its articulation with the pelvis.
Intervertebral Discs: Some models include flexible or colored discs to illustrate cushioning and disc pathology (e.g., herniation or degeneration).
Nerve Exits: May feature spinal nerve roots exiting through the intervertebral foramina for neuroanatomy reference.
Durable and Lightweight: Made from high-quality PVC or composite materials for durability and repeated handling.
Mounted Option: Can come with a stand or base for desktop use or wall mounting in classrooms or clinics.
