What Is the Marasmus Model Used For?
Marasmus is a form of severe protein-energy malnutrition, seen mostly in infants and young children who get too little food overall. The body uses up its fat stores and then its muscle, leaving a very thin, “skin and bones” appearance with loose skin folds and an aged-looking face. Unlike kwashiorkor, marasmus is not marked by swelling (oedema) of the feet and face, so the two are often compared side by side in class. Prevention lessons centre on breastfeeding, adequate complementary feeding and regular growth monitoring.
The model supports teaching in dietetics and home science, nursing and community medicine, and biology lessons on nutrition and deficiency diseases.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Size, material and mounting — confirm them with JLab, since the listing does not state them.
- Quantity — minimum 10 units.
- Comparison set — order the Kwashiorkor Model as well if you teach the two forms of malnutrition together.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does marasmus differ from kwashiorkor?
Marasmus is severe wasting from an overall lack of food, without oedema. Kwashiorkor is marked by oedema and skin and hair changes, and is linked with a diet especially poor in protein. JLab lists a separate Kwashiorkor Model.
Does the listing give the model’s size or material?
No. Ask JLab to confirm the size, material and mounting with your quotation.
How many units must I order, and when will they ship?
Order 10 units or more; each is sold individually and visually inspected. Dispatch normally takes 7–10 working days, plus transit time for export.
Who is the manufacturer?
JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd), which makes the Marasmus Model at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd trades as JLab and manufactures laboratory equipment and health-education models in India; the company was incorporated in 2017 and is based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. JLab makes this model in its own works rather than buying it from a trader, so colleges, schools, dealers and importers order straight from the maker, each model is inspected by eye before packing, and repeat orders stay with the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Lebanon in the Middle East, Gabon in Central Africa, Vanuatu in Oceania, Canada in North America and Albania in Southern Europe. Tender information is on the JLab lab tenders page.
