Gastric Band Model (Product Code: SLE/DS/04) is a two-part stomach model to which a gastric band has been added, created to explain this surgical device to patients. A gastric band is inserted surgically to treat morbid obesity when conservative treatments have not been successful, and the model lets a surgeon, dietitian or nurse show exactly where the band sits on the stomach. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for bariatric clinics, hospitals and medical and nursing colleges, and is one of the more specialised items among biology teaching aids in India.

Patients considering weight-loss surgery often find it hard to picture what a band does. In a pre-operative consultation the clinician can point to the band on the stomach, explain how it restricts the upper part of the organ so that smaller meals bring a feeling of fullness, and answer questions about eating after surgery. Because the base is a two-part stomach model, the stomach can also be opened to discuss its normal anatomy in the same conversation.
In nursing and medical education the model supports lectures on obesity management and on the care of patients after bariatric procedures. At 0.51 kg it is easy to hold up during a consultation or pass round a seminar table. Wipe it with a soft cloth between patients and store it away from direct sunlight.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures this model in Ambala, Haryana, alongside its wider line of anatomical models and laboratory apparatus for customers in India and international markets. Our company profile tells you more.
