Thorax with heart and vessels
Description
Description
Thorax with heart and vessels
This highly detailed 3D model depicts the key anatomy of the superior thoracic aperture, mediastinum, and adjacent neck and thoracic structures, with both clavicles and select muscular and venous elements removed to enhance visibility and educational impact.
Anatomical Highlights:
Superior Thoracic Aperture:
- Trachea visible at the top, with a robust ring of cartilage.
- Rib 1 exposed from lateral to medial, including insertion of the anterior scalene muscle.
- Removal of clavicles allows unobstructed views into the upper thoracic corridor.
Vascular Anatomy:
- Right subclavian artery, situated above rib 1, gives rise to the thyrocervical trunk.
- Left subclavian artery, also above rib 1, branches into the suprascapular artery.
- Both common carotid arteries are visible; the left carotid sheath includes the left vagus nerve.
Nervous System:
- Left vagus nerve follows the left carotid artery within the carotid sheath; left recurrent laryngeal nerve loops under the aorta.
- Right vagus nerve and right phrenic nerve retracted during dissection; left phrenic nerve remains anterior to the heart, tracing to the diaphragm.
- Elements of the left brachial plexus are visible—from roots to trunks—including the dorsal scapular nerve.
Mediastinal & Cardiac Orientation:
- Arch of the aorta, with brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid, and left subclavian artery, sits just above the heart.
- Pulmonary trunk emerges immediately superior to the heart.
- Left anterior descending artery (LAD) courses along the anterior heart surface.
- Superior vena cava lies to the right and posterior to the ascending aorta.
- Right phrenic nerve positioned posteriorly to the heart; left phrenic nerve runs in its connective tissue anteriorly.
Inferior Thorax & Diaphragm:
- Ribs 8–12 and associated external intercostal musculature visible; muscle fibers run inferomedially into fascial layers.
- Right hemidiaphragm sits higher than the left, reflecting the presence of the liver beneath.
Applications & Benefits
Clinical Relevance:
Ideal for visualizing neck and thoracic anatomy relevant to cardiovascular, respiratory, and nerve-related procedures, including laryngeal, thoracic, and brachial plexus surgery.
Educational Utility:
Offers a clean, accessible view of mediastinal compartments, vascular pathways, and nerve trajectories without obstruction by bone or superficial structures.
Enhanced Learning:
The model’s clarity supports instruction in radiographic interpretation, thoracic surgical approaches, and anatomy exams.

Very life like ,easy to use
The quality is amazing 🥰
Amazing
But recommend the sutures to be 2/0.
4/0 is very small
I'm a medical student and was really pleased with the quality of this kit, all the tools are well made and the case is near and sturdy
Works well
If i could give it 4.5 I would but I'm much more inclined to say I'm happy with this product. Really good quality, excellent resource for my vet suturing practice. I have a mild complaint about the silk sutures, they rip/ fray more easily than I hoped, but easily rectified by buying new ones (which are cheap) and also encourages me to be more gentle with my knots. I'm so happy with it and it's a perfect still revising break from studying. Thank you Sim and Skills!!!
Student Feedback: Feedback was gathered from 13 students. Overall, they liked the trainer and would recommend it to their peers for learning blood glucose testing. They found the trainer easy to use and helpful in demonstrating the procedure. The students felt that the trainer added significant value to their training, with the main benefit being an increased competency in blood glucose testing.
Lecturer Feedback: Feedback was collected from 7 lecturers. Most of them found the trainer to be authentic and effective in simulating the challenges of blood sugar testing. They appreciated that it encouraged patient communication, which is a great plus. The product was of good quality and reliable for teaching purposes. However, there was a minor issue with the finger becoming leaky after multiple uses. Despite this, the lecturers agreed that the trainer prepares students well for real-world blood glucose testing.
Excellent service and speedy delivery. Highly recommended
Brilliant teaching aid. Lots of useful equipment within set. Excellent for practice.
Amazing product
As a proud owner of a Sim & Skills Foot & Ankle model, I thought it was time I invested in a Hand & Wrist.
My clients find it really helpful when we are discussing anatomy and it really aids their recovery.
I believe client education and knowing that your body is something to be enjoyed, not feared, is such an important platform for recovery from chronic pain.
This item is very useful for NG insertion training, it can be used in a horizontal position and the fluid bag does not leak out. The bag and tubing can all be stored within the head making storage of the item easy. It is very simple to use and the head is strong and durable
Purchased these bags for training with venepuncture and so far very pleased with quality and cost
Fast delivery, excellent communication and a great price
Excellent fast service. Thank you.
