Description

This realistic 6-week-old infant model enables trainees to repeatedly practise the key examination procedures of hip sonography, including the ability to identify standard plane for Graf’s classification.

The ultrasoundable material allows learners to locate key landmarks, making it an ideal training tool for paediatricians, radiologists and orthopaedists.
