Edmé François Chauvot de Beauchêne (1780, Île-de-France – 1830, Paris) was a French physician, surgeon and anatomist. He was Chief of l'hopital Saint-Antoine Paris, the Deputy Chief of Anatomical Works of the Faculté de Médecine de Paris (both part of the University of France) and deputy head surgeon at Saint-Antoine.[1] He was a member of the Société Anatomique de Paris and a Member of l'Academie de Médecine d'Île-de-France as well being the personal physician of Louis XVIII[citation needed] and the surgeon of Charles X.[1] He is buried in Père-Lachaise Cemetery.
Edmé François Chauvot de Beauchêne was the inventor of the disarticulated or exploded human skull used for medical teaching, known as the Beauchêne skull.[2] The skull bones are disarticulated along the sutures and mounted at a distance on brass supports. The bones are attached to the brass rods by rivets and the assembly is mounted on independent adjustable and modular brass rods which allow the jaw to advance and the top of the skull to be tilted back. Dentition is revealed with dissection of the left cortical bone showing the dental roots and with the nerve branches pigmented in red. One fabricator was Maison Tramond, 9, rue de l'ecole de Medicine, Paris.[citation needed] The skulls were supplied by the medical school.
