Product Description
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Dynamic Disc Model – A carefully crafted lumbar spinal stenosis L4-5 model with natural degenerative details.
A dynamic Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Model can demonstrate many different and important anatomical details to help deliver the treating doctor’s message including: central and lateral stenosis with a thickened ligamentum flavum, paracentral disc bulge, mild through severe facet arthropathy, subchondral sclerosis, IVF narrowing, and degenerated disc with a significantly reduced disc height. Intelligently, manually squeezing the spinous processes together, dynamic extension demonstrates furthering stenosis while model flexion increases canal space. Very helpful in the explanation of symptoms and respective therapeutic strategies. Stenosis patients often experience symptoms standing or walking and will be relieved of them with sitting. Strategies around therapy can be explored and explained clearly with the goals of increasing anterior-posterior spinal canal diameter. Never before anatomical degenerative details have been seen in a model. Optional shortened cauda equina.
This model is a perfect pairing companion with the Professional or Academic LxH.
NOTE: Each model is individually crafted and small variations may exist between models and may not be exactly as shown…but it will be pretty darn close!

Francis W. Smith MD –
This is the best model lumbar spine I have seen. I am proud to possess one. It will be of great value when explaining to my patients as well as in my research using Upright MRI.

Debbie Wright –
I love this model – I use it daily alongside the LxH disc model to educate my patients on the spinal changes associated with degeneration and stenosis. I can’t recommend these models enough, they are an essential part of my practice.
Stephanie H –
I use this product in the VA hospital with my veterans. Side by side with a traditional spine mode I t is a phenomenal way to demonstrate how the facet joints and central canal change. It allows me to better educate my patients on their condition as well as what treatment we can use to help provide relief.
