Description: | 1 to 30 in increments of 1 (on the shaft of the scope) MANU Unsigned. mid to late 20th century This is a polythene sigmoidoscope . This instrument was used for the inspection of the mucous membrane of that part of the colon which lies in the pelvis. It is composed of a long semi-transparent tube with a flared end into which slots a white polythene obdurator which protrudes throught he end exposing a rounded surface, which will allow easier insertion into the colon. This was probably used for creating a conduit through which irrigating fluid could be flushed rather than for examination per se, since there is no attachment for illumination. | 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: | SURGICAL : DIAGNOSIS : GLASGOWCOLLEGEOFNURSING : NURSING : TEACHING : SIGMOIDOSCOPE : RECTALEXAMINATION : PELVICOLON : SIGMOIDECTOMY : SIGMOIDOTOMY : DIAGNOSTIC : RECTUM : SPECULUM : | 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 |
