Description: | OPERATING TABLE USED BY SIR WILLIAM MACEWEN (engraved on a plastic label attached to the table). MANU Unsigned. late 19th century probably Glasgow, Scotland. DES probably MACEWEN,William,Sir. late 19th century Glasgow, Scotland. Late 19th century operating table used by Professor Sir William MacEwen (1848 - 1924). Curiously despite the fact that MacEwen was Lister's dresser from 1874 and an ardent devotee of Lister's antiseptic methods this table is made of wood and therefore not aseptic. There exists another table of the same construction owned by The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. The table is mounted on wheels for ease of movement and has a ratchet mechanism for raising and lowering one end for operations on the lower limbs. | 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 |
