Title
Model of a hospital instrument steriliser, England, 1931-194
Description

This small-scale model represents a sterilizer or most likely an autoclave. An autoclave sterilizes instruments using heat and high pressure prior to their use in an operating theatre. This model shows the red and green valves on the front and the trays used to place instruments in the device. This model may have been used by travelling salesmen to show the products of Chas F Thackray Ltd, who made the full-size version.

Thackray’s was a surgical and medical equipment maker from 1902 to 1990, based in Leeds and London. When the company was sold in 1990, Paul Thackray, a former director, established a charitable trust and set up the Thackray Museum in Leeds in 1997 to display his collection.

maker: Chas F Thackray Limited

Place made: England, United Kingdom
