Claw Hands in Leprosy Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5194
The Claw Hands in Leprosy Model by Jaincolab is an anatomical teaching model depicting the characteristic claw hand deformity seen in leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae. This deformity results from damage to the ulnar nerve, leading to hyperextension at the knuckle joints combined with flexion of the finger joints, particularly affecting the ring and little fingers, and is a well-recognized clinical sign taught in infectious disease and neurology curricula.
This teaching model helps students visualize the distinctive hand posture associated with peripheral nerve damage in leprosy. Designed for use in biology equipment laboratories, medical colleges, and pathology museums, this model supports comprehensive learning about infectious disease and its neurological complications across India and internationally.
