Leprosy Face Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5173
Jaincolab's Leprosy Face Model is a gross pathology teaching aid depicting the characteristic facial changes seen in lepromatous leprosy, a form of the infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Used in medical, dermatology, and microbiology education, this model helps students recognize the distinctive facial features associated with advanced disease. As a leading Biology Equipment manufacturer in India, Jaincolab supplies this and other gross pathology teaching models to colleges and training institutes across India and internationally.
In lepromatous leprosy, diffuse infiltration of the skin by the bacteria and the body's immune response can produce thickened facial skin, loss of eyebrows (madarosis), multiple nodules, and a coarsened appearance sometimes described as "leonine facies," along with collapse of the nasal bridge in advanced cases. The Leprosy Face Model gives students a clear visual reference for these findings, which are an important part of clinical and dermatological teaching. Leprosy is a curable disease, and multidrug therapy has made significant progress in reducing its burden in India and globally.
