Mantoux Test Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5160
Jaincolab's Mantoux Test Model is a teaching aid depicting the tuberculin skin test (Mantoux test), a widely used screening method for tuberculosis infection. Used in medical, nursing, and microbiology education, this model helps students understand how a positive skin reaction is produced and interpreted following intradermal injection of purified protein derivative (PPD). As a leading Biology Equipment manufacturer in India, Jaincolab supplies this and other teaching models to colleges and training institutes across India and internationally.
The Mantoux test is performed by injecting a small, standardized dose of tuberculin PPD intradermally into the forearm, and the site is examined 48 to 72 hours later for the presence and diameter of induration (a firm, raised area) rather than simple redness. Induration reflects a delayed-type (cell-mediated) hypersensitivity reaction to mycobacterial antigens, and the size of the reaction, interpreted alongside the person's risk factors, helps determine whether tuberculosis infection is likely. The Mantoux Test Model gives students a clear reference for the technique and its characteristic skin response.
