It represents a transverse cross-section of the human upper leg, showing the internal structures that matter most during haemorrhage control: the femur, quadriceps, hamstrings, vastus group, surrounding soft tissues, and anatomically placed arteries and veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from two grades of silicone, the model replicates the differing firmness of muscle groups and soft tissue.
