Tuberculosis TB Test Palpable Arm Training Model Set

The Mantoux Tuberculin Skin Test is used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. The test involves an intradermal injection of 0.1 mL of tuberculin, with results read 48–72 hours later. Evaluation should be based on the size of the induration (firm swelling) rather than redness.

The TB skin test palpable arm training model set accurately simulates the structure of the human forearm and includes palpable TB test nodules, allowing learners to practice TB skin test / Mantoux test techniques. The set comes with training arms in two different skin tones.

⏩The Key Features:

• Realistic Forearm Simulation
  The TB skin test training arm accurately simulates a human forearm with palpable nodules, so learners can practice the Mantoux test. The model presents four different test conditions, each with visible swelling and measurable induration, helping students interpret TB test results accurately.

• High-Quality, Realistic Silicone Materials
  The TB test practice model combines soft silicone skin with a 3D-printed rigid core, providing a lifelike feel when locating and assessing TB test indurations during practice.
• Dual Skin Tones
  The set includes two training models in black and white skin tones, enabling practice on different skin colors and improving accuracy in palpation and TB test interpretation across diverse patient groups. The durable design supports repeated use.

⏩Applicable Scenarios & Target Users:

This TB skin test training kit is ideal for classrooms, clinical skills labs, simulation workshops, continuing education programs, and skill assessments. It is designed for nursing and medical students, healthcare professionals such as doctors and nurses, educators, and public health trainees, providing a safe and effective way to practice TB skin test techniques, palpation, and accurate induration assessment.

⏩Product Specifications:

• Training Focus: Practical TB skin test skills
• Skin Tones: Two colors included (light and dark)
• Material: Soft silicone skin with 3D-printed rigid core
• Training Applications: Classrooms, clinical skills labs, simulation workshops, continuing education programs

⏩How to Determine TB Infection?

TB infection is determined by measuring the diameter of the induration (firm swelling) with a ruler (Note: do not measure redness).

1. <5 mm induration: Generally considered negative. For high-risk individuals, clinical symptoms and history should also be considered.

2. ≥5 mm induration: Positive for high-risk groups (e.g., HIV-infected individuals, recent contacts of infectious TB patients, immunocompromised people).

3. ≥10 mm induration: Positive for moderate-risk groups (e.g., individuals born in high-TB-burden countries, residents or workers in congregate settings, people with certain medical conditions).

4. ≥15 mm induration: Positive for individuals with no known risk factors.
