Models & interactive displays
Heart disease model set
Audience: Young people and adults Three exceptionally detailed heart models offer a jolting look at the damage that is frequently the result of unhealthy living. One model features a partially healed infarction another is plagued by congestive heart failure and a normal model shows viewers what a heart is really supposed to look like. Each model is approx. 10 cm x 6 cm x 6 cm. |
Giant cigarette action display
Audience: Young people and adults An interactive tool that reveals the benefits of quitting smoking, which increase the longer you stay smoke-free. User simply turns the outer sleeve to see the benefits that begin from within minutes of the last cigarette and continue for years. 9 cm x 61 cm. |
Lou-wheeze
Audience: Young people and adults Has two flexible latex lung models. One represents a healthy lung, and the other depicts the damage done by emphysema and cancer. The attached pump inflates the healthy lung as normal, but the diseased lung inflates sluggishly and fails to deflate completely between 'breaths'. |
Deluxe occluded artery model
Audience: Young people and adults Model provides an easy-to-understand visual of how plaque buildup harms cardiovascular health by comparing a healthy artery to one that is clogged with thick, yellow plaque. Turning the display over demonstrates how easily blood cells travel through the clean artery, while those in the clogged artery get stuck in cholesterol buildup, leading to a heart attack or stroke. |
The ABC's of smoking flipchart
Audience: Young people and adults From asthma to burns, cancer, drug interference, and more, this six-panel, 30-cm x 43-cm flip chart presents alphabetical listings of conditions and diseases associated with smoking with full-colour, graphic medical photography. Great for smoking cessation programmes, health fairs, clinics, classroom presentations, and more. Features presentation notes on the back of each panel. |
The Tarminator
Audience: All ages The Tarminator is perfect for demonstrations in which using an actual cigarette is impractical or not permitted. The user starts by pumping clean water through The Tarminator's filter unit, demonstrating how unpolluted air leaves no deposits on the lungs. For comparison, a special tar mixture is then pumped through the unit, staining The Tarminator's filter a dull brown. This shows how lung tissue absorbs the tiny particles in cigarette smoke. After the demonstration, the stained filter can be passed around for closer examination. Please note: this image shows a newer version of the Tarminator model than the one held by our service. |
