Frequently Asked Questions

Why Does the Anatomical Products Buyer's Guide Have Fewer Items Than Shown on Your Website?
The Buyer's Guide indicates those products that are both our best selling items, and, at the same time, offer our dealers the best discounts and highest profit margins for resale. Most of the anatomical charts in the Buyer's Guide have a 40% discount, while the models are discounted from 20% to 40%. In contrast, many of the models and training aids not listed in the Buyer's Guide may have discounts of just 5%-10%.

What Are Budget Models?
These lower priced models give our dealers the highest profit margins at 40% off the Retail Price. The details, quality and overall appearance of these models are not at the level of the higher priced models.
Many of the higher priced models have numbered parts on the model and a corresponding keycard that names each numbered part. In contrast, most of the budget models are not numbered, and, instead, come with a key that only identifies many of the parts and structures of the body organ or structure.

Somso Models On Back-Order And Why Does Delivery Take So Long?
Many of our higher quality anatomical models are produced by two German companies. For many items in their line, Somso Moedelle does not start production until orders are received, and, along with the strict attention to details and quality, the production process and shipping time can result in extended backorders.
