Historic teaching model of placenta previa.

Note the fetus is shown in the normal vertex presentation, the placenta lies above the head across the cervical opening of the uterus. The placenta is shown in red above the maternal pelvic bones.

About The Models - One of a series of models commissioned by Giuseppe Galletti (? - 1819) currently held in the Institute and Museum of the History of Science (Italy) Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza (IMSS). Giuseppe Galletti and others used terracotta and wax models that he had commissioned in Florence between 1770 and 1775 to train surgeons and midwives. Wax models are life-sized and the terracotta versions are reduced to a 1:3 scale.
