Trachoma Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5167
Jaincolab's Trachoma Model is an ophthalmic teaching aid depicting trachoma, a chronic conjunctival infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis and a leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. Used in medical, ophthalmology, and community health education, this model helps students understand how repeated infection leads to conjunctival scarring and vision loss. 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.
Trachoma begins as a follicular conjunctivitis, often acquired in childhood, and repeated infections over time cause progressive scarring of the inner eyelid. This scarring can lead to trichiasis, in which the eyelashes turn inward and abrade the cornea, eventually causing corneal opacification and irreversible blindness if untreated. The Trachoma Model gives students a clear visual reference for this disease, which remains a significant public health concern in many parts of the world and is targeted for elimination through the WHO's SAFE strategy.
