Question 1

What pelvic model is best for continence physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic floor physiotherapy requires models that show the levator ani muscle group, perineal body, urogenital hiatus, and sphincter anatomy in detail. The Anatomy Store stocks dedicated pelvic floor models that show these structures at a level of detail appropriate for patient education in continence and women’s health physiotherapy. These are distinct products from general pelvis sections used in broad anatomy teaching.

Question 2

Are there models that show childbirth anatomy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Anatomy Store stocks obstetric models showing pregnancy stages, foetal positioning, and the mechanics of vaginal and instrumental delivery. These are used in midwifery training, obstetric nursing education, and antenatal education programmes.

Question 3

Do you stock male pelvic models as well as female?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Male pelvic models showing the prostate, bladder, urethra, seminal vesicles, and sphincter anatomy are stocked alongside female pelvic models. Male pelvic models are used in urology nursing training, continence physiotherapy, and surgical anatomy education.

Question 4

What is the difference between a pelvis section and a pelvic floor model?

Accepted Answer

A pelvis section shows the bony pelvis and its contents in a cut-away view, typically from a sagittal or frontal section. A pelvic floor model specifically shows the muscular and connective tissue structures of the pelvic floor — the levator ani group, coccygeus, and associated fascia — rather than the bony anatomy. Most continence and women’s health practitioners need a pelvic floor model rather than a general pelvis section.
