Rheumatoid Hand Phantom (US-17) — Ultrasound Training for Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Diagnosis
The Rheumatoid Hand Phantom (Item No. US-17, 0.6 kg) by Kyoto Kagaku, Japan is a dedicated ultrasound training phantom for early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis — a skill where ultrasound plays a growing role in catching joint changes before they become visible on X-ray or obvious on physical exam alone.
Realistic pathology, not just anatomy. The phantom simulates synovial thickening and increased synovial fluid specifically on the middle and ring fingers — the actual ultrasound findings clinicians look for when assessing early rheumatoid joint involvement. This lets students practice recognizing the sonographic signature of the disease, not just probe placement technique.
Built for focused, repeatable practice. At a compact W17 × D5 × H21 cm and 0.6 kg, this phantom is sized for individual student stations or small-group ultrasound skills sessions, made from latex-free polyurethane elastomer for durable, repeated use.
Why this matters for rheumatology and internal medicine training in India: early ultrasound-based diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is an increasingly emphasized skill in postgraduate and specialist training, since earlier detection supports earlier treatment and better long-term joint outcomes for patients.
What’s included: 1 hand manikin, instruction manual, storage case.
