Our Orthopaedic bone models are designed to be cut, drilled, tapped, or gouged with standard hand, or powered instruments.

Each Sawbones model can be used over again for a number of different exercises. The ability to mold and mass-produce specific pathologies makes them ideal for large-scale surgical skills courses.

In addition, minimal cleanup is required, in contrast to cadaveric specimens.
