6 new deadly surgical scrub tech weapons

ecraseur (1850's)

This nasty bloody instrument was used to sever hemorrhoids and uterine by the surgeon and surgical scrub tech. it was a metal T handle that looks like a sword and has a med evil chain at the end. it would wrap around the tumor and squeeze the hell out of it until there was no blood in the area. this was real big during the time and must of been a real bloody case.

hemorrhoid forceps (1800's)

this hemorrhoid clamp looked like a regular old clamp. it was steel and reminds me of a mayo clamp that we use today in surgery. What they would do is clamp the hemorrhoid and put pressure and it would stop the blood.

Hernia tool (1940's)

this tool was used after a hernia procedure was perform. it looks like a can opener or bottle opener. they would leave it in the wound for about a week, hoping that the scar tissue will regrow and then boom. so then the hernia problem would be fix and and they can go back to there old ways.

hirtz compass (early 1900's)

the hirtz compass was used to find where the bullet would is exactly and help the surgeon and Surgical scrub tech to find it and take it out. to me it reminds me of laparscopic instruments because it has four sticks with pointy ends that would determind where the bullet is.

hysterotome (1850's)

the histertome was used to dilate the cervix during a hysterectomy

lithotome (1730's)

the lithotome was used to remove the gall stones out of the bladder. today we use the graspers to do that and then use the aspiration needle to remove that yucky green stuff =)the lithotome has a blade that would cut into the bladder and then use the spring to finish the job and make the surgeon, patient and surgical scrub tech....
