sheep head vascular model
#SV-SHV-001-Y
Our sheep brain model encompasses a detailed representation of the main vascular brain structure of a sheep, providing a comprehensive view of its various regions and intricate connections.
The Sheep Head Vascular Model is a life-size, detailed replica of one half of a sheep's head, showcasing all major vasculature with precision. This model is designed for pre-animal testing, offering an accurate and realistic simulation of live conditions. It supports the 3R principles (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement), making it an excellent choice for reducing the need for live animal trials, while providing a reliable and effective tool for medical research and device testing.
highlights
true-to-life vascular replication
Derived from real animal data with an impressive 0.03mm tolerance, this model ensures a highly precise and lifelike representation of head vasculature, ideal for training, testing, and R&D.
realistic feel
Crafted with an ultra-smooth finish, the model closely simulates the friction and feel of human vasculature, ensuring realistic handling during simulated medical procedures.
leak-proof barb-to-Luer compatibility
Our models feature a fully integrated barb geometry within the silicone for leak-tight performance, when used with industry standard barb-to-Luer connectors. This design ensures compatibility with a wide range of medical devices and provides reliable, leak-proof functionality, making it ideal for various medical applications.
tailored to your specifications
With multiple silicone compounds and color options, the model is fully customizable to ensure optimal performance in any scenario or application.
