Lower limb model MP1810

for teaching

This 3D printed specimen presents a superficial dissection of the lower limb from mid-thigh to mid-leg, highlighting muscles, nerves, and vessels of the popliteal fossa. Thigh Musculature & Knee Joint The insertions of anterior, medial, and posterior thigh muscles are visible, including the pes anserinus medially and iliotibial tract laterally. The knee joint capsule is opened anteriorly, revealing the menisci and the tibial and fibular collateral ligaments. Leg Muscles & Compartment Structures Superficial leg muscles are preserved, with anterior and lateral compartment muscles shown beneath the crural fascia. The proximal cross-section displays distal thigh muscles, the femoral artery and vein, and the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal. The sciatic nerve and perforating branches of the profunda femoris artery are also visible in the posterior compartment. Popliteal Fossa & Neurovascular Structures In the popliteal fossa, the popliteal artery and vein descend from the adductor hiatus. The sciatic nerve bifurcates into the common fibular, tibial, and sural nerves. Distal cross-sections highlight the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartment muscles, with the deep fibular nerve alongside the anterior tibial artery and veins, and posteriorly, the posterior tibial and fibular arteries and veins near the tibial nerve.
