Short answer: BIX-A1027 is a life-size human foot joint skeleton model in PVC, and the product page states it is washable. It is designed so that both the anatomy of the foot and a variety of foot functions can be shown. If your objective is to teach foot structure — and to let students handle a real-sized object while you do it — this is the right category of model. The purchase decision comes down to four things: whether "washable" is real enough for shared use, how the joints are articulated, whether the scale is genuinely life size, and whether the model should be bought together with the lower limb skeleton it belongs to.
Key takeaways
| Published feature | Buyer's question |
|---|---|
| Human foot model | Does it include the ankle joint and the distal tibia/fibula, or does it start at the talus? |
| Foot anatomy can be shown | Which structures are modelled — tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges, and are any ligaments included? |
| A variety of foot functions can be shown | Which movements move: dorsiflexion/plantarflexion, inversion/eversion, or the toe joints only? |
| Material: PVC | Rigidity matters: a rigid foot holds a demonstration pose; a soft one deforms under handling. |
| Washable | Which cleaning agents are approved, and can it be immersed or only wiped? |
| Model number: BIX-A1027 | Record it — it is what the quotation and any spare-part order must reference. |

In a skills or anatomy lab a foot model is handled by every student in the room, often on a bare bench. "Washable" on a specification sheet usually means the surface tolerates water and detergent; it does not always mean the model can be immersed. Ask which cleaning method is approved, because the answer determines your turnover time between classes.
"Can show a variety of foot functions" is the most useful and least specific line on the page. The foot is where the mechanical complexity of the lower limb concentrates, and the intrinsic muscles play a role in support and movement that a purely bony model cannot show. The concept has been formalised in the "foot core" framework, which treats the foot's own muscles as an active support system rather than as an afterthought [1]. If your teaching covers function rather than only bones, confirm exactly which movements the joints allow.
Life size means the model matches the real anatomical scale, so students can place landmarks at true relative positions. It does not mean it will match every patient. The clinical value of being able to interpret the foot on imaging is the reason this matters: targeted short training has been shown to change accuracy in reporting the appendicular skeleton — the limbs — specifically [2].
A single foot model answers questions about the foot. The same catalogue carries lower limb, upper limb and individual joint models. If your course runs from the limb bones into the foot, buying the family together avoids the situation where students learn the foot in isolation and never relate it to the leg it hangs from.

Q1. What is BIX-A1027?
It is a life-size human foot joint skeleton model made of PVC, used to demonstrate the anatomy of the foot.
Q2. Can it show movement?
The product page states that the foot anatomy shown can demonstrate a variety of foot functions. Confirm the specific movements with the supplier before purchase.
Q3. Is it washable?
Yes — "washable" is listed among the published features. Ask which cleaning agents and methods are approved.
Q4. What material is it made from?
PVC.
Q5. Is the price published?
No. Pricing is quoted on request, and packaging data is not published either.
Q6. How do I request a quotation?
Email adanursing@adaanatomy.com with the model (BIX-A1027), the quantity and your destination port; ask for the lower limb and other joint models in the same message if you need them.
Write to adanursing@adaanatomy.com for a quotation on BIX-A1027, together with the carton dimensions and gross weight that the product page does not publish. If your anatomy course covers the whole lower limb, ask for the life-size lower limb skeleton and the ankle and knee joint models in the same enquiry so they ship as one order.
