ANATOMICAL MODELS
Anatomical Chart Company: This company has now been taken over by Lippincott Williams and Wilkins. They sell a finely featured fetal skull model, the nicest one I have found anywhere. This link will take you directly to the skull page.
Childbirth Graphics: This company sells an array of pelvises and dolls. They can be contacted at:
www.childbirthgraphics.com
Denoyer-Gebbert: This company has the same fine quality fetal skull (product no. SK38) carried by Anatomical Chart Co. They also carry several nice looking female pelvic models but it is impossible to tell their actual size just from looking at a picture on the web, and most pelvic models are small in comparison to those of Western-European and American females because many existing models are fashioned with reference to small Asian specimens. Web site: www.denoyer.com.
Educational and Scientific Products Ltd. manufactures the fine fetal skulls I refer to above in the UK. If you are in the UK or Europe, order directly from them at www.espmodels.co.uk, their model no. is ZJY-420-R.
