Key Features
Prominent Fontanelles: The model clearly displays the major fontanelles, including the large, diamond-shaped anterior fontanelle and the smaller, triangular-shaped posterior fontanelle. These are critical landmarks for clinical assessment.
Open Sutures: The fibrous joints (sutures) between the major cranial bones (frontal, parietal, occipital) are shown as unfused, which is a key feature of the fetal skull.
Demonstrates Cranial Molding: The separation between the bones and the flexibility implied by the fontanelles and sutures allow the model to be used to explain "molding"—the process by which the fetal head changes shape to safely pass through the birth canal.
Anatomically Accurate: The model is a 1:1 scale replica, providing a realistic representation of a term fetus's head for hands-on examination and practice.
Durable Material: Typically constructed from high-quality, durable PVC plastic, making it suitable for repeated use in classrooms and clinical training settings.
This model is essential for a variety of training and educational purposes:
Obstetrics and Midwifery: It is an indispensable tool for teaching medical students, nurses, and midwives how to determine the position of the fetus during labor. This is done by palpating the fontanelles and suture lines during a pelvic exam.
Medical and Nursing Education: Used in anatomy, embryology, and pediatrics courses to illustrate cranial development and the significant differences between infant and adult skulls.
Childbirth Education: Instructors and doulas use the model to visually explain the birthing process to expectant parents, helping them understand how the baby's head is designed to navigate the pelvis.
Pediatrics and Neonatology: Used to study the normal development of the infant skull and to identify potential abnormalities.
the Human Fetal Skull model (SB50958) is a specialized and vital educational tool, primarily used in the fields of obstetrics and midwifery, to study the unique anatomical features that facilitate the process of human birth.
