At birth the bones of a baby's skull have not yet fused. The soft gaps between them, the fontanelles, and the sutures that join them are the landmarks a midwife feels for during examination to judge how the head is lying in the birth canal. With this model, students learn to find the diamond-shaped anterior fontanelle and the smaller triangular posterior fontanelle, and to trace the sagittal, coronal and lambdoid sutures that connect them.
Lifting the skull off its rod lets each learner hold it the way it would be felt during a delivery, while the tutor explains how unfused bones allow the head to mould and pass through the pelvis. Placed beside an adult skull, it also shows how large the cranium is compared with the face at this stage of life. Return it to the polymer base after the session so it stays on display and ready for the next group. As one of the human anatomical models made in India for maternal-health teaching, it is a core item for midwifery skills labs.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited operates under the ScienceLab name and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this fetal skull, which it makes at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Nursing schools, midwifery programmes, medical colleges, dealers and importers receive it directly from the maker.
For a replacement base or rod, or for repeat orders, ask us, as the manufacturer deals with these requests itself. The ScienceLab profile has more about the company.

Can the Fetal Skull be removed from its stand?
Yes. The Fetal Skull is rod-mounted on a durable polymer base, and the skull detaches from the stand for examination, so students can hold it in the hand to find the fontanelles and sutures, then return it to the stand for display.
What size is the Fetal Skull?
Without its stand, the Fetal Skull measures 11 × 11 × 20 cm. The stand adds to the overall height, so if you need the displayed or packed size for a cabinet, ask us through the contact page before ordering.
Does the jaw of the Fetal Skull move?
Yes. The Fetal Skull has a moveable, spring-held jaw. The spring keeps the lower jaw attached while still letting it move, so it stays in place when the skull is lifted off the stand and turned during examination.
Who uses the Fetal Skull?
The Fetal Skull is used by nursing and midwifery schools, obstetrics departments and biology teachers to explain fontanelles, sutures and how a baby's skull bones can overlap during birth, often alongside a pelvis or birth demonstration model.
Who manufactures the Fetal Skull?
The Fetal Skull is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders come straight from the manufacturer, not a trader.
How can I order the Fetal Skull in quantity?
The Fetal Skull can be ordered singly or in quantity by nursing colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send the product code SLE/A/126, the number of models and the delivery location to receive a quotation.
