Lung Demonstration Model [0812]

Suitable for KS3+. A first hand view of how the lungs work! This simple, yet effective apparatus consists of two sacs which represent the lungs, a rubber membrane which serves as the diaphragm and a clear plastic enclosure which models the chest cavity. By making the diaphragm relax and contract the students can see how the lungs are emptied and filled with air. Size: 16.5cm (D) x 33cm (H).

Please note: The balloons and diaphragm on this apparatus are made of natural rubber - as such it is liable to degrade over time and need replacing. If rubber is exposed to light and/or heat it will degrade faster. It should be stored in a cool, dry, dark environment in between use. Even then it will gradually degrade and crack with time. Adding a little talcum powder to the rubber will also help prolong its life.

The balloons and diaphragm are classed as consumable products and replacement items can be purchased under the below codes:
