  1. I would like to know where you purchased the l.s. of the long bone. We use it as model in one of our exercises. I haven’t been able to find a vendor that makes one. Do you know of one?

    1. I am sorry I don’t know the answer to that. This l.s. model has been at this school for a long time. One of the online vendors is called skullsunlimited.com but even then I didn’t see an l.s. prep on that website.
