Medical teaching model of human fat by nasco
This is a medical model representing one pound of human fat. It's only been out of the box once as part of a presentation for a weight-loss seminar.
Semi-translucent yellow with red, fibrous spots to simulate capillaries.
Irregularly shaped, but essentially it measures 3.5" tall by 5" wide. It comes on a thin, removable plastic base.
Made by NASCO. Here's the description of the item from their website:
A grossly dramatic visual replica of human fat molded with the same techniques used to create Life/form food replicas. A shocking but strongly motivating attention-getter. Made of soft, pliable, long-lasting vinyl plastic, this replica has a profound, memorable effect when passed around among the audience. Replicas represent approximate volume of real fatty tissue; weights vary.
