Erler-Zimmer Auditory Ossicles Models (Set of Six Bones)

The ossicles in the ear are some of the smallest bones in the body, with an essential function that's crucial for medical personnel such as otolaryngologists to understand. The Erler-Zimmer Auditory Ossicles Models (Set of Six Bones) includes life-size models of the malleus, incus, and stapes, which can be easily removed from the supplied petri dish for close observation. The detailed and life-like design supports realistic training and study scenarios.

What's Included?

• 6 x Auditory Ossicles:
  • 2 x Malleus Bones
  • 2 x Incus Bones
  • 2 x Stapes Bones
• 1 x Petri Dish with Custom Foam Insert

What Is the Purpose of This Ossicles Model Set?

This ear ossicles set is a fantastic anatomical training tool that can enhance study and training on some of the smallest bones in the body. Ossicles, found in the middle ear in the tympanic cavity of the temporal bone, help to carry and increase the amplitude of sound from the eardrum to inner ear. These bones are essential to our aural experience, and this life-size anatomical model set enables in-depth study of their structure. 

Who Would Benefit From Using the Ossicles Model?

Using this ossicles model, it is possible to gain a better understanding of the structure of the middle ear. This makes it a fantastic training and study tool for:

• Otolaryngologists
• Doctors and Nurses
• General Practitioners
• Anatomists and Physiologists

Which Auditory Ossicles Are Included?

The middle ear includes three small bones, or ossicles, each of which are included in this set. There are two of each type of bone available, including:

• Malleus (or 'hammer')
• Incus (or 'anvil')
• Stapes (or 'stirrup')

Key Features and Benefits

• Two sets of auditory ossicles, including six bones total
• Ideal for training and study purposes, including for otolaryngologists and similar healthcare personnel
• Includes two of each ossicle, including the malleus, incus, and stapes
• Supplied in a petri dish for secure storage, loss prevention, and display
• Custom-made foam keeps the ossicle models safe and secure in the petri dish
• Can be easily removed from the petri dish for closer observation and study
• Can be assembled to reflect their formation in the ear
• Once assembled, they are still small enough to fit onto a fingernail
• Life-size design enables realistic study and training scenarios
