Real Human Hands For Sale
We believe education is the greatest gift osteology can share and that every human specimen can contribute to the advancement of science. These specimens are provided to us by retired physicians, medical researchers, dental professionals, and former university medical programs. We also work with accredited donor programs. A small sample – often antiques that simply do not qualify for medical/research grade usage – are made available to osteology enthusiasts worldwide so that they may continue to educate and inform.

The metacarpal bones connect the fingers and the carpal bones of the wrist. Each human hand has five metacarpals and eight carpal bones (wrist bones). Real Human Hands For Sale

Humans have retained the generalized five digit pattern in the hands. There are twenty-seven bones in each hand. Please see below for articulated, partially articulated, or disarticulated hands.
