Cutler-Robinson pneumothorax in a black leatherette carrying case. The case measures 36 x 46.5 x 21 cm and has chromed hardware. The pneumothorax apparatus is affixed to a wooden base. Two large glass bottles are marked with graduated measurements from 0-2000 cc, each fitted with a metal cap and nozzle connector. The nozzles are attached to red rubber tubing which runs to a stopcock device. The stopcock is in turn connected to the manometer, marked with graduated measurements. The apparatus also includes a black rubber bulb, two lengths of rubber tubing, a glass vial containing two trocars, two plastic containers, and needle tubing wrapped in brown paper. The apparatus is in good condition.
