3B Scientific K26 Gallstone Model Instruction Manual

1. Introduction and Overview

This anatomical model, the 3B Scientific K26 Gallstone Model, is designed for patient education and anatomical study of the biliary system. It presents the anatomy of the biliary system and its surroundings at half natural size. The model illustrates acute inflammation (cholecystitis) and tissue changes resulting from chronic inflammation within the gallbladder wall. Gallstones are depicted in typical locations: the fundus of the gallbladder, the spiral valve area, the common bile duct, and the papillary opening of the small intestine.
