Home | About | Contact | Links | Search

Previous Category Item Next Category Item

A device which prior to the caesarian section was a lifesaving procedure for a mother in obstructed labour. Similar in function to the Simpson's perforator but with a "snapcatch" handle lock which ensured that the pointed ends stayed firmly together while entering the skull. In excellent condition as shown. There is no makers mark.
