This smallest of organs looms large when it comes to digesting burgers, so we made it bigger (it's about the size of a lemon in real life)! This gargantuan gallbladder is a ginormous 7.5" x 8.5" super-soft high quality embroidered plush.
The gallbladder collects & concentrates bile, a substance made by the liver and used to digest fats --like that ice cream you had last night. An informative educational booklet hangtag tells you more about your biliary buddy.
Safe for all ages, this plush comes packed inside a biodegradable plastic sleeve. Designed in California, made in China.
The International Museum of Surgical Science, a division of the International College of Surgeons (ICS), maintains over 10,000 square feet of public galleries committed to the history of surgery, and an exquisite permanent collection of art and artifacts from the history of Medicine. The Museum supports its Mission through medically themed exhibitions and programs, in addition to a strong contemporary art exhibition program.
