- The model is made of a smooth cutaneous and muscular cover in which the bones of the knee-joint are embedded.
- The anterior outer cover has four access points to the articular internal area, two lateral, one central and one medial opening.
- The arthroscopy model has one lateral and one medial access to the posterior recess.
- The Hoffa's fat body is shown and can be taken off and replaced by an adhesive catch.
- The internal and external menisci are anchored by plug-in threads and can be easily exchanged and replaced.
- The ligamentous apparatus i.e. the lateral ligaments and the cruciate ligaments are represented nearly true-to-nature.
- An easy exchange of the ligaments is possible because of the screw and plug-in joints.
- The patellar ligament is shown and the patella can be exchanged.
- After removal of the cutaneous-muscular covers one can use the bones with the ligaments as a functional knee-joint model.
- The mounting support at the thigh is suitable for mounting in an operating vice.
- The cutaneous and muscular covers are kept in place by four synthetic screws.
