About This File
This 3D model of peripheral artery disease (PAD) provides a highly detailed and anatomically accurate representation of how plaque buildup affects blood flow in peripheral arteries. It illustrates the narrowing and blockage caused by atherosclerosis, highlighting the impact on circulation to the limbs, particularly the legs. The model effectively demonstrates restricted blood flow, tissue oxygen deprivation, and potential complications such as claudication, ulcers, and gangrene.
Designed for educational and clinical purposes, this model is an invaluable tool for studying vascular anatomy, understanding the progression of PAD, and exploring treatment options such as lifestyle modifications, medications, angioplasty, and bypass surgery. Ideal for medical professionals, educators, and students, it supports teaching, training, and patient education, helping to raise awareness about early detection, prevention, and management of peripheral artery disease.
Its realistic design enhances comprehension and promotes a deeper understanding of vascular health and related conditions.
