Description
ca. 1920's
A chest aspirator in a nickel-plated case, measuring 26.5 x 7.5 x 3.5 cm. The set originally belonged to Dr. Bonebrake of Goldendale, WA, a UOMS graduate of the Class of 1918, and was subsequently donated by John C. Brougher, M.D., in February 1976. The set includes: 1) aspirating syringe, 2) stopcock with rubber stopper, 3) three trocar needles with wires, and 4) three sections of rubber tubing. The case is in poor condition, with the nickel-plating abraded in spots, and the copper showing through. The rubber pieces have hardened, and the metal shows some rust.
Digital photograph of a chest aspirator in an unlined metal case. The case lid has been opened to reveal the contents, and the syringe has been removed to the gray countertop in front of the case. A portion of a handwritten note of provenance can also be seen.
