Description: | H (stamped on the stem of the ring pull of the instrument). MANU Unsigned. late 19th early 20th century This ball ended bristle probang was used to sounding for strictures (obstructions caused by eg scar tissue after swallowing a corrosive liquid) in the aesophagus and for pushing foreign objects into the stomach. It consists of a flexible spring down which a rod connected to a brush of horse hair clamped at both ends. When the rod is pulled the horse hair fans out rather like a chimney sweeps brush. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
