Rickets Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5154
Jaincolab's Rickets Model is a gross pathology teaching aid depicting the characteristic skeletal deformities of rickets, a childhood bone-mineralization disorder caused by prolonged deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate. Used widely in medical, nursing, and paediatric education, this model helps students visualize how inadequate mineralization of growing bone leads to softening and deformity of the skeleton. 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 rickets, defective mineralization of the growth plate and osteoid results in soft, pliable bones that bend under normal mechanical stress. The Rickets Model illustrates classic features such as bowing of the long bones (genu varum/genu valgum), widening of the wrists and ankles, beading of the costochondral junctions (rachitic rosary), and frontal bossing of the skull, giving students a clear visual reference for correlating radiographic and clinical findings with the underlying metabolic bone disease.

Q1. What does the Rickets Model show?
A1. It depicts the bowed limbs and other skeletal deformities caused by rickets, a bone-mineralization disorder of childhood.
Q2. What causes rickets?
A2. Rickets is most commonly caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate, which impairs normal mineralization of growing bone.
Q3. What are the classic signs of rickets shown in the model?
A3. Bowing of the legs, widening of the wrists and ankles, and beading of the rib cartilage (rachitic rosary) are classic features.
Q4. Who uses this model?
A4. Medical, nursing, and paediatric colleges use it to teach students to recognize the skeletal signs of metabolic bone disease.
Q5. Does Jaincolab export this model internationally?
A5. Yes, Jaincolab manufactures and supplies this model to educational and medical institutions across India and internationally.
