MEDICAL EDUCATION MODELS: CHOOSING THE RIGHT MODEL FOR THE RIGHT PROCEDURE

ANATOMICAL MODEL MANUFACTURERS: FORMING A PARTNERSHIP FOR HIGHEST QUALITY PRODUCTS

Simulation bone models are preferred in orthopaedic training and education thanks to their advantages over organic specimens. Cadaveric specimens require special handling, have a limited shelf life, and can be costly to acquire. They also inordinately represent elderly patients compared to other segments of the population. Simulation bone models offer greater consistency, variety, and a realistic experience of a biological specimen when subjected to surgical procedures.

Disposable bone models offer a cost-effective, hands-on solution for orthopedic instruction that accelerates skills transfer to the operating room. These models are customizable to suit the needs of increasingly populated courses and pre-clinical labs.

Because arthroscopy requires coordinated small hand movements without direct visualization, orthopedic students must master psychomotor skills. Residency programs can raise the quality of instruction and improve students' proficiency by using dedicated psychomotor skills assessment tools for arthroscopy training, such as the Fundamentals Of Arthroscopic Skills Training (FAST) workstation.

It’s the last day at #aaos2023. Don’t miss out! Come see us in booth 1443. #Sawbones #aaos23

Everyone loves the FAST maze. Can you make it ask the way through in under a minute? Booth 1443 #AAOS2023 #AAOS23 #Sawbones

Team Sawbones has landed. We can't wait to share what we have in store for you. See you Wednesday in booth 1443! #AAOS2023 #TeamSawbones #Sawbones #orthopedics #orthopaedics

We’re shaking things up. See a preview of some of the exciting changes we’re making in booth 1443 at #AAOS23!

Sawbones has exhibited at every AAOS Annual Meeting since the late 1970's, and we look forward to many more to come! My, how things have changed. See you all next week! #AAOS2023 #AAOSMemories

It's the final countdown! We look forward to seeing you at AAOS 2023 - Booth 1443 - March 8 - 10, 2023 in Las Vegas! #AAOS2023 #AAOS23 #orthopaedics #orthopedics #sawbones @aaos_1

It's day one of the exhibits at #ORS2023. Amy and Karina are in Dallas, exhibiting in booth 303. Come by and learn about our testing and validation options! #orthoresearch

Season's Greetings! Wishing you joy and peace during this holiday season and throughout the year. Thank you for being a part of our Sawbones family.

Rotator cuff repair procedures involve using arthroscopic procedures and equipment. Desktop trainers sustain the necessary repetitive practice to master basic psychomotor skills anywhere at any time.

$Compact hard bone is unique and requires special handling when setting fractures and drilling holes. A realistic cortical shell model can recreate the feel of compact bone while allowing for more effortless drilling and handling for training.$

We are eternally grateful for our employee-owners, our valued customers, and the opportunity to contribute to medical education worldwide. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. We hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and gratitude. Our US offices and manufacturing will be closed today and tomorrow. However, our EMEA and APAC teams are available.

Introducing the newest in our line of patient demonstrators, our Total Shoulder Demonstrator. It features removable muscles and humerus to visualize the joint space better.

$Tibia and fibula bone models aid orthopaedic trainees in visualization and technique perfection necessary in reduction and fixation procedures. Find out how a tibia and fibula bone model helps practice different fracture treatments in the link in our bio.$

Anatomical models help residents progress quickly from theory to practice through hands-on medical training.

Did you know your spine consists of 24 moving vertebrae? When you are born, your #spine is actually made up of 33 vertebrae, but as we get older, some of those #vertebrae fuse together.

Honoring our military veterans. Happy Veteran's Day from Team Sawbones.

There are more than 200 bones in the human body, and all of them have the potential need for a training model. While it’s not practical to equip a training program with hundreds of bone models, affordable and effective models are available to enhance education and sales training.

$Recreating specific fracture types in generic models representing a trauma location can be a cost-effective solution for extensive demos, labs or workshops. Such models can highlight the intricacies and challenges in traumas across different fracture types, such as spiral or four-part fractures on extremities.$

We will be exhibiting for the first time at the NZOA-AOA Combined ASM in booth 12! Morten and Peter look forward to discussing how Sawbones can support your work in medical training, education, and product demonstration.

$Radiopaque bone models allow the user to learn imaging techniques and identify fracture patterns.$

Today’s trauma training bone models can meet any clinical or instructional challenge with the proven advantages of hands-on engagement.

My how things have changed but also stayed the same. #tbt SICOT 1993 Sawbones cervical spine model and holder.

$Did you know 75% of proximal humerus fractures occur in people over 60? These fractures are the third most common type of broken bone in people of this age group after hip and wrist fractures and are most commonly caused by falls.$

Karina is representing Sawbones in booth 1020 at The 38th Annual @otatrauma Meeting. She looks forward to seeing you all and discussing how we can support your medical education, sales training, and product demonstration goals!

$Did you know intramedullary nailing is the most common method for treating tibia fractures? During this procedure, a metal rod is inserted into the canal of the tibia. The rod passes across the fracture to keep it stable and secured with screws at both ends$

Sawbones Team Spotlight: Trim. The Trim department is the hourglass of Sawbones. Most parts filter through Trim to have flash removed, get cleaned up for distribution, and quality control checked for defects.

$Femur bone model features should give users a thorough understanding of the treatment for common fracture patterns in this area, including open, oblique, comminuted, and transverse injuries.$

Lumbar spine models are as dynamic and varied as the treatments they prepare medical students to master. Click the link in our bio to learn more!

Scenes from UCSF International Trauma Course this week. Always engaging, always a great time. Thank you for having us once again @ucsf.ortho!

$Some common #fracture patterns will require a simple setting or casting. Others are more complex, demanding surgical intervention. In either case, they must be accurately diagnosed and treated.$
