Product Description
The NEW Academic LxH Dynamic Disc Model for 2020
New features include:
- circumferential (diffuse) disc bulge
- superimposed disc protrusion
- limacon shaped annulus
- peripherally exposed calcified endplate
- elastomeric white articular cartilage
- subchondrial bone exposed with hyaline fibrillation
- bone coloured L5
- white superior endplate matching the colour of the articular cartilage
- New cauda equina
The anatomical features that remain (from the previous model):
- flexible and dynamic herniating (or prolapse) nucleus pulposus. This is achieved through a realistic 2-part intervertebral disc with 6 degrees of freedom. Nuclear migration upon manual compression through a torn annulus fibrosus explaining pain generators under load.
- right posterior-lateral radial and circumferential(concentric) fissure
- transparent L4
- randomly scattered and embedded black nuclear structures to show nuclear shifting dynamics through the L4 view lens easily
- L5 superior endplate pores (black)
- L5 superior endplate lesion (red)
- vasculature in L4 vertebral body (red)
- facet subchondrial vascularization (red)
- facet tropism (L5 inferior)

I have been using dynamic disc designs now for 11 years. I recently purchased my 2nd disc model which has a clear vertebral body. The only reason I needed to purchase a new one was that I passed the old one along to my associate, it is still currently being used by her. This device has been invaluable to explaining to my patients the mechanism of disc displacement and nerve compression. Being able to show them what loading a lumbar disc in various positions does to the disc and surrounding structures allows them to better understand their problem and I find the better understanding positively affects their outcomes. My second disc model split at the endplate shortly after receiving, I emailed the company email and was promptly replied to by the owner. He offered to fix the model at no cost to me. I have nothing but good things to say about this company and product. I will continue to use their models as long as I am in practice.

I have been using the disc spinal model in my office for a few years now. This is the best tool I have ever used to bridge the gap between accurate diagnosis and patient understanding.

The best models on the market, no doubt. Very helpful in patient education.
Roy Strickland DC –
I run a busy Chiropractic and spinal decompression practice. We see a lot of people with herniated discs. When I show them the Dynamic Disc Model that Dr. Fryer created They can easily understand the anatomy of what they have going on. It REALLY helps with conversion to care. Without a doubt its helped me help more people!

As a chiropractor in a hospital setting we see a high number of complex spinal conditions. Up until we purchased the models from Dynamic Disc Designs it was almost impossible to give an accurate demonstration of spinal biomechanics and the effects on the discs, joints and ligamentous structures. DDD has single handedly changed the way I practice. Patients just get it. The spinal models from DDD should be in every doctor’s office and on the shelves at every medical, chiropractic and physical therapy school.

The use of your models have enhanced both our level of teaching and also the experience of learning for our students. The dynamic abilities of your lumbar disc model has made patient education a breeze with a higher level of patient compliance with their home exercise programs because of their greater level of understanding. Simply the best anatomical teaching aids on the market today!

After using every patient education tool out there over my 29 years of practicing, I finally found one that is hands down the best out there! My patients now truly understand , not only the problem, but the necessity of treatment!
Jason Cozart DC –
Most patients can’t comprehend spinal anatomy with charts and pictures. The DDD models have made my life easier because now they understand what I’m trying to tell them. Since they understand patients are keeping their treatment plans better.
Jason Buehler DC –
The DDD model has proven to be an invaluable tool to explain lumbar spine anatomy. My patients can see and feel as I explain their disc injury and how decompression therapy can have positive effects on the disc. It is truly a work of art!

I would like to thank you and your company Dynamic Disc Designs Corp. for creating a realistic product that can be considered worthy of being in a health care office. This product makes it so much easier to show a 3D reference while explaining MRI’s and X-rays results to the patients. I actually did not really use 3D models before because of their lack of realism. Please keep on developing your models and I would highly recommend you to everyone.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, Dr. Fryer’s model is worth even more. I have found it extremely valuable in my practice, and as a Chiropractic educator.

The bone models purchased from Dynamic Disc Designs are the best I’ve seen yet. I personally use them on a daily basis for patient education. In addition, they have been a helpful visual aid during litigation proceedings. Seriously, a bone model is worth a thousand words.
