Assalini Artery Forceps

 
Assalini style artery forceps with a pressed horn handle. The handle is marked London on one side and Weiss on the other. A similar pair of these superb forceps are on display in the Wellcome Museum London. "The thumb opened the jaws to clamp the artery. The ligature was then pushed over the vessel and tied".
