Overview

Preserved pig, 14"+, single injected (red arteries), specimens immersed in preservation fluid and packed in pails. Prices listed are for 1 specimen.

Explore mammalian anatomy using Carolina's Perfect Solution® Preserved Pigs. Because pigs are larger than other common vertebrate specimens, they are ideal for students working in pairs or small groups. Conducting pig dissection in your classroom will allow your students to:

  • Learn vertebrate anatomy
  • Relate structure and function
  • Examine organs and organ systems
  • Investigate similarities in pig and human anatomy
  • Practice dissection skills

Carolina's Perfect Solution® is a proprietary fixative that produces the safest and highest quality specimens on the market. Perfect Solution® specimens are safe and non-toxic, produce no dangerous off-gassing, and require no special disposal. The life-like color and tissue texture allow students to easily identify structures and learn anatomy.

*Carolina's preserved pigs were not raised for the purpose of dissection; they are a byproduct of the pork industry. Most of the pigs were stillborn and would be discarded were they not reutilized for educational purposes.

Ratings & Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Too big for a single-day dissection! The 14" specimen is excellent for multi-day use, but I would not recommend it for a single-day two student/pair dissection. There is just too much anatomy and interesting stuff to identify for a single session. The heart is well-developed, and the great arteries and veins (superior/inferior vena cava, pulmonary artery, etc.) are easily identifiable. The esophagus is so much easier to identify and distinguish from the trachea. All visceral organs are prominent, including the gall bladder and pancreas. However, the parts are just too good to rush through in a single dissection. If you have only one day to do it, I would recommend the smaller-sized specimens (less than 14"). Five pigs in a bucket is too heavy to handle; if you order ten pigs, that would be two heavy buckets that you carry along with a cart!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Intro Dissection The pig is a great introductory dissection for high school students. I use the pig for 9th and 10th grades and an introduction to the human body. Carolina is known for their great dissection specimens, you won't find a better brand out there. I would highly recommend their Perfect Solution, is it less harsh than other chemicals commonly used.

Carolina's Perfect Solution® Specimens

Carolina's Perfect Solution Specimens

Carolina's Perfect Solution®—Safe. Convenient. Superior.

Our commitment to producing the finest preserved specimens on the market has led us to Carolina's Perfect Solution®, a unique, revolutionary fixative that is dramatically improving the quality of classroom dissection.

  • No formalin odor
  • No dangerous off-gassing
  • No dark and unnatural appearance

Instead, organisms preserved with Carolina's Perfect Solution® retain more lifelike color and texture. Because students study more natural-looking specimens, it is easier for them to identify the structures and, as a result, learn anatomy.

Carolina's Perfect Solution® specimens are safe and nontoxic, which means you need no special ventilation and there's no costly disposal.
