An excellent tool for showing the difference between healthy bone and bone affected by osteoporosis, this model (6" x 9" x 8") can be used as a tabletop display, or it can be removed from its wooden base for closer inspection. One side of the model features a cross section of dense bone; the other illustrates porous bone. Great for explaining osteoporosis to patients and students, the model is perfect for starting discussions about the importance of calcium and vitamin D in the diet, as well as regular physical activity for bone strengthening.
