A very rare instrument from early 20th
C use to decapitate the foetus in obstructed labour. The wire saw is
passed behind the foetal head using the thimble. The maternal
structures are protected from the saw by a rubber sheath. Handles
are then attached to both ends and the blade is pulled through the
foetal neck. A complete set with a second blade, two handles and a
thimble. Both handles and thimble are signed Lewis Bros London.
Excellent condition. |
