Revenue model

1. Plastinated Specimen Sales: One-time sale of plastinated human specimens for teaching and research purposes. Pricing is associated with the cost of dissection, preparation, and preservation services, not for the specimens themselves. Specimens are sold exclusively to qualified users including educational institutions, hospitals, and research facilities. Lead times range from 6 to 12 months as specimens are produced upon order.

Core offering

Anatomic Excellence is the exclusive North American distributor of von Hagens Plastination teaching specimens, supplying ethically sourced, real human plastinates—including silicone plastinates, sheet plastinates, Anatomy Glass prints, blood vessel configurations, skeletons and skulls, and bespoke dissections—to qualified educational institutions, hospitals, and research facilities for anatomy education, training, and research.

Product overview

Anatomic Excellence is an anatomy education company offering a portfolio of six distinct plastinated human specimen products sourced exclusively from von Hagens Plastination. The core portfolio includes Silicone Plastinates (complex 3D specimens), Sheet Plastinates (1-5mm thick body slices), Anatomy Glass (acrylic prints of body slices), Blood Vessel Configurations (3D blood vessel castings), and Skeletons & Skulls (real human bones prepared for study). An add-on service, Bespoke Specimen Dissection, allows institutions to request custom specimens tailored to their specific curricular needs. All products are ethically sourced through the Institute for Plastination Body Donation Program and are intended exclusively for medical teaching, anatomy labs, and research institutions.

Products and services

• Silicone Plastinates Complex 3D specimens that showcase the musculoskeletal system and inner organs, as well as their relative anatomic position to each other; plastinated using silicone rubber for durable, long-lasting anatomy teaching tools. Whole body, regional, and organ-level specimens are dry, non-toxic, and require no prescribed storage conditions.
• Sheet Plastinates Transparent or translucent 1 to 5 millimeter thick cured slices from real human bodies that enable tissue study at a macroscopic and microscopic level, revealing intricate anatomical structures that remain intact after fluid replacement with polymers.
• Anatomy Glass High-resolution acrylic glass prints of compelling body slices; shatterproof, scratch-resistant, temperature-resistant, and will not fade, yellow, or discolor over time; available to the general public.
• Blood Vessel Configurations Perfect 3D castings of inner blood vessels created by injecting polymers into real human blood vessels, preserving even filigree blood vessels and customizable with red and blue differentiation for arteries and veins.
• Skeletons & Skulls Real human skulls, skeletons, and individual bones that are defatted and bleached, with expanded medical skulls having individual bones separated and reconnected with high-grade steel wire for a 3D view of each single bone.
• Bespoke Specimen Dissection Custom-created specimens prepared in partnership with von Hagens Plastination to suit specific curricular needs, including pathology specimens when available.

Founder Graham Whiteside was personally trained by Dr. Gunther von Hagens, inventor of plastination. The partnership enables Anatomic Excellence to offer over 250 standard specimens plus bespoke specimen creation.
• Gubener Plastinate GmbHcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerGubener Plastinate GmbH (GuPla) was established in 2006 by Dr. Gunther von Hagens and encompasses 323,000 square feet housing the PLASTINARIUM museum, von Hagens Plastination teaching specimens, and BODY WORLDS exhibitions. All specimens are produced at this facility under the leadership of Dr. von Hagens and Dr. Vladimir Chereminskiy.
• Institute for Plastination (IfP)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe Institute for Plastination, established by Dr. Gunther von Hagens in 1993 in Heidelberg, Germany, is home to the Body Donation Program for Plastination. The program has nearly 20,000 registered body donors from over 33 countries, ensuring ethical sourcing of all specimens.
• BODY WORLDS ExhibitionsminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerBODY WORLDS exhibitions, curated by Dr. Angelina Whalley and created by Dr. Gunther von Hagens, have attracted over 50 million visitors in 150+ cities since 1995. The exhibitions feature real human plastinates and help inspire body donation registrations.

Direct peers

• 3D4Medical (Complete Anatomy): Subscription-based 3D anatomy platform used by medical schools and healthcare programs; a leading digital substitute for physical cadaveric and plastinated specimens in the same anatomy-education procurement cycles.
• Anatomage: Provider of digital anatomy tables and 3D dissection software widely used in medical, dental, and allied-health education programs; competes with plastinated specimens for anatomy-lab capital budgets at the same institutional buyers Anatomic Excellence targets.
• Visible Body: Interactive 3D anatomy and physiology learning platform sold to universities, colleges, and high schools; directly competes with plastinated specimens as a reusable, lower-friction alternative for anatomy instruction.

Broad incumbents

• CAE Healthcare: Division of CAE that sells patient simulators, ultrasound trainers, and simulation center solutions to medical schools and hospitals; overlaps with Anatomic Excellence in selling into healthcare-education capital and curriculum budgets.
• Surgical Science: Developer of virtual reality surgical and medical training simulators used by hospitals, medical schools, and device manufacturers; a digital/VR alternative competing for anatomy and procedural training spend.
• Limbs & Things: Global manufacturer of medical task trainers and clinical-skills simulation products sold to nursing, medical, and allied-health programs; competes with Anatomic Excellence for the broader simulation/anatomy budget at shared institutional buyers.

Emerging players

• SynDaver Labs: Manufactures synthetic human and animal cadavers and task trainers for medical education and surgical simulation; positioned as a non-human, reusable alternative that addresses some of the same cadaver-shortage problem plastinated specimens solve.
• Primal Pictures: Interactive 3D anatomy database widely licensed to universities, libraries, and hospitals; a digital substitute for physical specimens in foundational anatomy coursework.

Regional players

• Adam Rouilly: UK-based supplier of anatomical models, prepared specimens, and osteological specimens for medical and healthcare education; competes for institutional anatomy-budget share outside North America with a similar physical-specimen portfolio.

Others

• Gubener Plastinate GmbH (von Hagens Plastination): German parent supplier of all plastinated specimens sold by Anatomic Excellence; included for completeness as the upstream source and ecosystem anchor rather than a direct competitor in the NA market where Anatomic Excellence holds exclusivity.
