An exceptionally rare instrument which
was used to dismember and or decapitate foetuses in the event of
obstructed labour. The Instrument comes in 2 parts. The hook section
would be positioned behind the neck or the obstructing limb. With
the second part connected and secured a Gigli like saw was threaded
through the hollow instrument using metal tape. Handles were
attached to the metal tape and pulling to and fro would saw through
the obstructing part. Dr Alban Ribemont was Parisian obstetrician in
the late 19th Century. |
