A model of an infant's skull

The infant skull model is a simulation teaching aid specifically designed for medical education and clinical training. It is made based on the anatomical structure of the skull in newborns and infants, truly reproducing the fontanelle, cranial sutures, and the connection characteristics of each cranial fragment. Unlike adult skulls, the skulls of infants have not yet fully ossified, with larger fontanelles and unopened cranial sutures. These anatomical features are of great significance for the teaching and clinical practice of pediatrics, obstetrics and nursing.

This model is usually made of high-molecular resin or other durable materials, with a clear surface structure that can visually present the anterior fontanelle, posterior fontanelle, sagittal seam, coronal seam and other parts. Through observation and touch, learners can master the anatomical characteristics of an infant's skull, and thereby understand the development patterns of the brain during infancy and the key points of clinical examinations. For instance, during physical examinations, clinicians can determine changes in intracranial pressure by palpating the fontanelle. The use of models provides an intuitive learning platform for this purpose.

In teaching and training, the infant skull model is not only applicable to the classroom learning of medical students and nurses, but also can be used in the standardized training of resident physicians in obstetrics and pediatrics, helping them master the normal and abnormal characteristics of infant skull development. Meanwhile, this model is also convenient for scientific research and academic exchanges, and has become an important tool for studying the development of children's skulls and related diseases.

In conclusion, infant skull models have significant value in medical education, clinical training and scientific research, providing strong support for improving the diagnosis and treatment level of diseases related to newborns and infants.
