An intubation set in an oxblood leather case. The case, which measures 24 x 12.5 x 4.5 cm, is lined with tan leather and has metal slide clasps. The number #1989 has been stamped in ink on the lower right corner of the inner lid. The set contains: 1) intubation forceps, 2) intubation handle, 3) six tracheal tubes, 4) metal rule, and 5) an inspection card, dated Oct. 27, 1896, and signed by the inspector. The set was donated by Gordon B. Leitch, M.D., in May 1978. The case is in poor condition, and the top has torn away from the rear hinge. The set may be missing some of the original instruments.
Digital photograph of an intubation set in an oxblood leather case. The case lid has been removed and placed underneath the lower case, to angle the instruments towards the camera. The instruments are shown laying in the tan leather-lined inner compartment, and a printed and signed inspection card has been placed on the gray counter to the left of the case.
