This instrument was used to crush and
remove the stones in the bladder and urogenital tract which
were commonplace in Victorian times. By turning the end
wheel, the jaws of the lithotrite clamp down on the stone
and crush it. When the ring on the main handle is be moved
backwards this frees the mechanism allowing the central rod
to be removed from its cannula for cleaning. The instrument
is in good condition with minimal wear to the brass plating
and is in perfect working order. Engraved 'Arnold & Sons
London B.M.' 390 x 58 mm |
