An uncommon instrument of foetal
destruction. This was used to perform a craniotomy on the foetus as
the preliminary process in collapsing the skull which would allow
subsequent extraction. The instrument had a pelvic curve allowing
the crown to be placed over the head. Turning the handle whilst
applying pressure rotated the cutting edge of the crown, effectively
trephining the skull. In excellent condition throughout, noting some
old corrosion at the base of the crown, mild wear to the plating in
parts (see pictures) and a few minor scratches at the base of the
handle. 445mm x 60mm at its widest part. Wt 0.6kg |
