K29 - Kidney Stone Model

This model is a helpful tool to inform patients about kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) and urinary stones (urolithiasis). It shows an opened right kidney in natural size. The renal calices, the renal pelvis and the ureter are opened as well so that concretions or stones can be identified in the following typical positions:

• In the area of the renal pyramids
• In the area of origin of the upper calix group
• In the renal cortex
• In the connecting tubule of the lower calix group, causing congestion of the minor calices (partially closed, partially opened)
• In the ureter

4 original color pictures on the base show various kidney stones.
