This item met my expectations. I had read previous reviews so I knew what I was ordering. This model is small but will be fine to meet my needs. I added a photo with a AA battery to show size comparison. It is made of a hard plastic or rubber. The pieces are not flexible. The hinges kind of shove together and move adequately. I have had them come apart when closed but a quick shove puts them back in place. I would not recommend this as a toy for a small child. This would be adequate as a manipulative for older students to make a lesson more interesting. It would also be good on a desk or shelf to display.

This was amazing and extremely helpful

I homeschool my 4 year old and we recently did a unit about our hearts. I used it privately with just my daughter, and also brought it to our homeschooling co-op classes. She and the other preschoolers loved taking this heart model apart and looking at real images of hearts in books from the library. They could identity some of the major features, like the chambers and valves. I plan to keep using this as my daughter ages, going more in-depth as she gets older. The instructions were easy to follow to assemble it. The stand broke immediately, and the pieces don’t all fit perfectly, so it doesn’t have the best quality. However, I am satisfied with it for using with our young children, it was inexpensive and really added some authenticity to our lessons.

Dunno why they call it toy? Its small but really detailed and well presented. I really like how the coronary arteries and veins are illustrated and as a cardio-tech, I am really satisfied with how it looks. Its great for the price you pay. The only downside to it are the joints that attach the heart to the parts bit its really negligible. Cheers if you do buy it!

the only positive i have to say on this piece is its general accuracy, other than that, assembly was incredibly difficult, to the point where it will not stay together, the pieces keep popping off, i cant open and close the chambers without pieces falling off, its a lot smaller than i had thought, to be fair thats more on me than them, however for 25$ i would expect it to at the very least larger and poor quality :// but its structure as far as assembly and function it falls incredibly short, can not recommend

I think the concept is very good but when putting it together the FIRST time, the stem that holds the completed heart broke. It is made of plastic and I would recommend it be made of a stronger material.

Small, but perfect for my needs. Very accurate in it's modeling. I would recommend this to others.

I have developed a heart condition and wanted a simple model, like the one used by my cardiologist, to better understand and follow my condition. This model though is in 24 pieces and the pieces do not fit together well. It was a nightmare trying to assemble it because their were no instructions. The pedestal was also broken. This may be great for a student that has to examine every part of the heart but for a working cardiologist or an interested patient it is way over the top. Also, it is a miniature of a real heart and not real size.

Excelente producto

Good one over 4years of use

Cuando lo recibir estaba roto el palito de montaje, pero como era un producto reacondicionado no me puedo quejar mucho. Lo arregle de tal manera que lo pude montar. En definitiva es un artículo bastante didáctico, adquirido para mi hija de 9 año y que le facilite la comprensión del funcionamiento y partes del coraza. Es sencillo de montar.

I purchased this while I was enrolled in a Healthcare program at post-secondary. It was VERY useful when we learned about the anatomy, functions, mechanisms, blood flow, etc. of the human heart. It is small (It could fit in my palm), but not tiny. It's a great size for an ornamental decoration while also maintaining a high level of anatomical detail for reference. The way the heart opens up is perfect. You can see the valves, and easily follow how blood flows through the heart.

Molto bello
