This four-stage artery model realistically demonstrates the progressive development of arteriosclerosis —from a healthy, elastic artery to a vessel completely blocked by a thrombus . It is an effective tool for patient education, preventative health care , and medical and nursing training .
The model consists of four fixed cross-sectional sections that are rotatably mounted and represent the following stages:
-
Healthy artery (soft)
-
Early fat storage / Stage 1 (firm)
-
Advanced plaque formation / Stage 2 (firmer)
-
Complete vascular occlusion by thrombus / Stage 3 (hard)
The varying material hardness makes the changes in vascular elasticity during the progression of arteriosclerosis clearly noticeable. The model is movable but cannot be disassembled and is particularly suitable for practical demonstrations in training, therapy education, or prevention events .
Areas of application:
-
Patient education in general medicine, cardiology & prevention
-
Health advice & risk communication
-
Teaching in medicine, nursing & physiotherapy
Advantages at a glance:
-
Illustrates four stages of arteriosclerosis in cross section
-
Noticeable differences in elasticity (soft to hard)
-
Clearly visible narrowing & thrombus formation
-
Rotatably connected – compact & ideal for presentations
Further information:
-
Ideal for explaining risk factors (e.g. cholesterol, high blood pressure)
-
Supports prevention work & motivation for lifestyle changes
-
Stable, non-slip and designed for frequent use
