Human Skeletal Hand Model (Product Code: SLE/A/16) is an approximately life-size plastic skeleton of the right hand, with the bones of the fingers, palm and wrist wired so the joints can move a little, and with the lower ends of the ulna and radius attached. It gives students a close, hands-on look at the small bones that a full skeleton displays only from a distance, which is why it is often bought to complement a human skeleton model in India's school and college labs. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and supplied as one piece on a blue base with a laminated key.

Anatomy students usually meet the hand as three groups of bones: the carpals of the wrist, the metacarpals of the palm and the phalanges of the fingers. On this model they can count and name each group with the laminated key, then gently flex the wired joints to see how the fingers bend and why the thumb moves differently. Including the ends of the radius and ulna lets the teacher show where the forearm meets the wrist, the region involved in the common wrist fracture discussed in first-aid and physiotherapy classes.
Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing and sports science courses use the hand for palpation practice, holding it alongside their own hand to locate landmarks. Senior school biology classes use it when covering joints and movement. Handle the wired joints gently and avoid forcing them beyond their natural range, since the wires allow only limited movement.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited produces the model in Ambala, Haryana, under its ScienceLab trade name. For tender files and vendor onboarding, the company's registration identifiers are GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and Legal Entity Identifier 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49.

Models that extend a study of the hand and upper limb:
More anatomy models are in the Human Models category.
Is this a left or right hand?
It is a model of the right hand.
Can the fingers move?
Yes, to a limited extent. The finger, hand and wrist bones are wired to allow some movement of the joints.
What material is it made from?
Plastic, which is lighter and easier to clean than real bone specimens.
Are forearm bones included?
The distal ends of the ulna and radius are included, enough to show the wrist joint.
Can a left hand be supplied instead?
The listed model is the right hand. Ask through our contact page if you need a different version and we will tell you what is possible.
Do you handle bulk and export orders?
Yes, for schools and colleges in India and international markets; include quantity and destination in your enquiry.
