Description: | THACKRAY LEEDS ENGLAND (on the outside surfce of one half of the bobbin case) a circle within a traingle (on the directly opposite edge of the same half of the bobbin - presumably a guide mark for the die) MANU Thackray mid 20th century Leeds England This is a perforated, enclosed bobbin for use in the sterilisation of ligatures. The ligature was wound around the spindle and then encased within the egg-shaped vessel and screwed shut. This could then be subjected to steam or alcohol sterilisation procedures, depending upon the material from which the ligature is made. This object could also double as a dispenser for the sterile ligature during surgery since the end of the ligature could protrude from one of the perforations and the spindle can freely spin within the cup. This object was found within the box of sigmoidoscope GLAHM 115011, probably placed there in error since the manufacturers are the same. | 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: | LIGATURE : BOBBIN : STERILISATION : STERILE : DISPENSER : SURGICAL : MECHANICAL : SPOOL : HEAT : STEAM : ALCOHOL : MH_ECK_CASE2 : | 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 |
