Tetanus of Baby Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5162
Jaincolab's Tetanus of Baby Model is a teaching aid depicting neonatal tetanus, a severe infection caused by the toxin-producing bacterium Clostridium tetani. Used in medical, paediatric, and nursing education, this model helps students understand how the disease produces its characteristic muscle rigidity and spasms in newborn infants. As a leading Biology Equipment manufacturer in India, Jaincolab supplies this and other pathology teaching models to colleges and training institutes across India and internationally.
Neonatal tetanus most often results from infection of the unhealed umbilical stump, allowing Clostridium tetani spores to enter the tissue and produce the potent neurotoxin tetanospasmin. Affected infants typically show difficulty feeding due to jaw stiffness (trismus), generalized muscle rigidity, and spasms that can be triggered by light, sound, or touch, often with the body arching (opisthotonus). The Tetanus of Baby Model gives students a clear visual reference for this preventable but historically serious paediatric infectious disease, which is now greatly reduced through maternal immunization and clean delivery and cord-care practices.
