Cutaneous and Subcutaneous Mycoses Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6210
The Cutaneous and Subcutaneous Mycoses Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates fungal infections limited to the skin and the tissue beneath it.
It is used in mycology and dermatology courses to explain how these infections differ in causative organisms, depth of tissue involvement, and mode of entry.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Dermatophytoses | Cutaneous infections (tinea or ringworm) caused by Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton species affecting skin, hair, and nails |
| Mode of Entry for Cutaneous Mycoses | Dermatophytes digest keratin and spread within the superficial layers of the skin |
| Sporotrichosis | A subcutaneous mycosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii, typically introduced through a thorn or splinter injury |
| Mycetoma | A chronic subcutaneous infection producing swelling, draining sinuses, and characteristic grains, caused by fungi or filamentous bacteria |
| Mode of Entry for Subcutaneous Mycoses | Fungi are implanted directly into subcutaneous tissue through traumatic skin injury |
Key Features
- Illustrates dermatophyte infections of the skin, hair, and nails
- Shows subcutaneous mycoses such as sporotrichosis and mycetoma
- Explains the different modes of fungal entry for each infection type
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls
