The best tool to teach compared anatomy in an effective, innovative and comfortable way.
Real, safe, and durable specimens for teaching, practical assessment, and educational innovation. Using silicone, epoxy, and polyester plastination, our collections are designed for Veterinary Anatomy at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, clinical simulation, and hybrid teaching.
Plastination is the safest and most innovative way to teach anatomy, using real organs, directly manipulable in any situation and environment (on-site and on-line).
1. Specially prepared for the theoretical-practical teaching of Veterinary Anatomy. Its realism and easy manipulation promote rapid student integration during online teaching.
2. Ideal complement to dissections, as they provide a learning experience that facilitates understanding of the body’s three-dimensional organization.
3. They allow direct manipulation of real organs in any environment and without personal protective measures.
4. They promote teaching innovation in any teaching program (systematic, functional, topographic, clinical anatomy) or methodology (flipped class, seminars, cases…)
5. Ideal for the study of comparative anatomy and to increase student confidence.
6. Avoid exposure to toxic fumes and invest in protective equipment and embalming solutions.
“We often use plastinated organs in our anatomy teaching during dissection sessions and in class. Occasionally, they are also used by students in their demonstrations. These pieces are are well valued by both students and teaching staff”
Juha Laakkonen, PhD Veterinary Anatomy, University of Helsinky
“The teaching staff use plastinated specimens, both as a support for traditional dissection and to show the students structures of clinical importance. All our plastinated specimens have been produced by Discover-in and are of excellent design. Along with my colleagues and our students, I am very impressed with the quality, ease of use and educational benefit of these plastinated specimens
David Kilroy, Veterinary Anatomy lecturer, Veterinary School, University College Dublin

At Discover-IN, we understand the importance of trust and transparency within the academic and scientific fields. For this reason, we offer faculties and institutions the possibility to contact other institutions that already include our plastinated specimens in their teaching or research collections.
If you wish to receive direct references regarding the quality, durability, or applicability of our plastinated specimens, we can provide the contact details of collaborating institutions located in different international settings.
This way, you can obtain an independent and first-hand assessment of the experience with our products and services.
