A simplified technique for casting anatomical models. 1977

W H Woller, and M Bordovsky, and R E Lyons

For anyone desiring to cast anatomical models, a simplified technique for external casting has been developed using dental impression materials readily available in dental supply houses. These impressions yield life-like permanent models retaining topographical features of normal as well as pathological skin and nails.
