Mechanical properties
The handling properties of our bones closely simulate those of real bone and are achieved by complex design, moulding and production techniques. This enables SYNBONES to be cut, drilled, tapped and modified by all available orthopaedic instruments. Even complex fractures and pathological conditions may be mass produced enabling training in large scale surgical skill courses.
Synbone bones vs. human bones
Our bones are manufactured from specially formulated polyurethane foam comprising of a cancellous inner core and a harder outer shell simulating cortical bone. They have been developed primarily for orthopaedic surgical education and are designed to provide the “feel” of working with real bone with similar forces being required to tap and drill our models.
