Super Colon
The Super Colon is an inflatable 8 feet tall and 20 feet long replica of a human colon. The interactive organ teaches people about cancer, will be on display at Peabody's (Massachusetts) Relay for Life.
The colon is part of the large intestine and extends to the rectum. Inside the inflatable horseshoe-shaped reproduction, people get a close look at what healthy tissue looks like. As the colon progresses, its sides transform to depict tissue with nonmalignant diseases, as well as tissue with various stages of colorectal cancer.
