Summary

[edit]
Surgical instrument set, Germany, 1939
Title
Surgical instrument set, Germany, 1939
Description

This extensive steel surgical instrument set contains a wide range of the equipment an army surgeon may have needed at a German field hospital. Some of the instruments, such as the amputation knives and saw, are for specific tasks. Other instruments, such as the forceps for clamping bones, arteries, and intestines, have a more general use.

The kit is labelled with the German word Hauptbesteck and the date. Hauptbesteck translates as “main cutlery”, “cutlery” being another word for surgical instruments. The use of steel for the case as well as the instruments ensured that this equipment could be sterilised easily.

maker: Jetter and Scheerer

Place made: Tuttlingen, Freiburg district, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
