Description

Examine the structural features of acute suppurative otitis media with this model. It demonstrates the thickened and inflamed tympanic membrane, bulging due to accumulated purulent effusion in the middle ear cavity. Vascular congestion and loss of normal anatomical landmarks are clearly represented, showing how infection alters normal ear anatomy. Learners can use this model to reflect on the progression of middle ear inflammation and its potential complications, such as perforation or mastoid involvement.
