Support for Aging, Damaged, or Incomplete SOMSO Models

Support for Aging, Damaged, or Incomplete SOMSO Models

Need help with an aging or damaged SOMSO anatomical model?

Holt Anatomical helps U.S. educators, lab coordinators, instructors, and anatomy programs request support for SOMSO warranty questions, replacement parts, damaged components, and repair options.

Submit photos and information about your model through our free SOMSO Support Checkup. Our team will review the request and help identify the appropriate next step.

Helping Extend the Educational Life of SOMSO Models

SOMSO anatomical models are designed for long-term use in classrooms, teaching laboratories, healthcare training programs, and anatomy departments. Many models remain in active use for years or even decades.

Frequent handling can eventually cause connectors, fasteners, tabs, pegs, prongs, magnets, and removable components to loosen, wear down, break, or go missing. Older models may also become difficult to assemble correctly or may no longer function as originally intended.

Holt Anatomical provides a clear starting point for institutions that need help evaluating a SOMSO model. After reviewing the model information and submitted photos, we can help identify the next step, which may include:

SOMSO warranty review

Replacement parts support

Connector or fastener identification

Simple repair pathway guidance

Factory repair coordination

Further review by SOMSO

Model replacement recommendations when repair is not practical

Our goal is to help your institution understand the available options before investing in a replacement model or attempting an unsupported repair.

What We Can Help With

Warranty Questions

Not sure if an issue may qualify for SOMSO warranty consideration?

Holt Anatomical can help gather the model details, manufacturing information, photos, and purchase history needed for an initial review. When additional review is required, we can help coordinate the request with SOMSO.

Final warranty eligibility and approval are determined by SOMSO.

Replacement Parts

A damaged model may only need a connector, fastener, tab, peg, magnet, or removable component rather than complete replacement.

We can review submitted photos and model information to help identify the affected part and determine if a compatible SOMSO replacement part may be available.

Some parts require model-specific confirmation before they can be ordered or fulfilled.

Repair Guidance

Some issues may be resolved through a replacement part or a simple repair process. Other models may require factory inspection or professional repair coordination.

Our team can help determine which repair pathway may be appropriate based on the model, damage, age, manufacturing date, and current condition.

Photo-Based Assessment

The free SOMSO Support Checkup allows your institution to submit photos and model details for review.

Helpful images include:

  • A clear photo of the complete model
  • A close-up photo of the damaged area
  • A photo of the broken or missing component
  • A photo of the manufacturing date marking
  • Additional photos showing how the model assembles

The manufacturing date marking is often located on or near the back of the model’s green base.
