Economy Human Spine (vertebrae) and Thorax (Product Code: SLE/A/52) is an articulated plastic model of the complete spinal column and rib cage used to teach the trunk skeleton, spinal movement and posture in schools and health-science colleges. Besides the ribs and sternum it carries the clavicle, scapula, an occipital plate and the pelvis, and the column flexes to show how the vertebrae move and align. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

This model covers the whole trunk skeleton in one piece of apparatus, so a single lesson can run from the base of the skull down to the pelvis. Students follow the natural curves of the neck, chest and lower back, see where the ribs meet the vertebrae and the sternum, and understand how the rib cage protects the heart and lungs while still allowing breathing movements. Flexing the column shows how the vertebrae share movement and why poor alignment loads one region more than another.
Physiotherapy and health education teachers use a flexible spine to explain posture, lifting technique and abnormal spinal curvature, while the pelvis with its ilium, ischium, pubis and symphysis supports lessons on the hip girdle. As one of the more affordable biology teaching aids for secondary schools, it is easy to keep on a bench. Bend it gently rather than twisting sharply, and wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of this spine and thorax model. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold by the maker itself to schools, nursing and physiotherapy institutes, distributors and importers, with no trading intermediary in between.
If a joint works loose after years of classroom use, ask us about replacement parts, since the enquiry goes straight to the people who make the model. The company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.
To teach the spine and trunk in more depth, these models are commonly ordered alongside:
All spinal columns, joints and skeletons are grouped in the Bone Model category.
Which parts of the skeleton does the Economy Human Spine (vertebrae) and Thorax include?
The Economy Human Spine and Thorax includes the complete spinal column, the ribs and sternum with associated structures, an occipital plate, the clavicle and scapula, and a pelvis with ischium, ilium, pubis, sacrum, coccyx and symphysis.
Is the spine on this model flexible?
Yes. The spinal column of the Economy Human Spine and Thorax is articulated and flexible, so a teacher can bend it to show vertebral movements and changes in alignment, then return it to its normal curves.
Does the Economy Human Spine and Thorax include a full skull or limb bones?
No. On the Economy Human Spine and Thorax the skull is represented only by the occipital plate, and the arm and leg bones are not included. A separate skull, such as the Economy Human Skull, can be added to the same order.
Who manufactures the Economy Human Spine and Thorax?
The Economy Human Spine and Thorax is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is sold directly by the maker to institutions, dealers and importers.
Is a stand included, and what are the dimensions?
A stand and exact dimensions are not stated for the Economy Human Spine and Thorax. Please ask through the contact page and ScienceLab will confirm both in writing with your quotation.
How should the Economy Human Spine and Thorax be cleaned?
Wipe the Economy Human Spine and Thorax with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth and avoid solvents on the plastic. Bend the column gently rather than twisting it, and store the model covered so dust stays out of the joints.
Can schools order the Economy Human Spine and Thorax in bulk or for export?
Yes. Send the code SLE/A/52, the quantity and the delivery location. ScienceLab supplies the Economy Human Spine and Thorax to schools and colleges in India and international markets, with quotations coming direct from the manufacturer.
To get a price for the Economy Human Spine (vertebrae) and Thorax, write to ScienceLab, or add it to the enquiry cart with other biology models and submit them together. You will hear back from the manufacturer itself.
