This is an antique medical instrument called Carbolic Steam Sprayer that was used in operating rooms in the 1880s It was used to sterilize the air. The maker of the instrument is unknown. This device, used in operating theatres in the 1870s and 1880s, filled the air with a pungent, yellow mist of an antiseptic called carbolic acid. British surgeon Joseph Lister invented it, hoping it would kill airborne bacteria, reducing the chance of infection during surgery. Lister had begun experimenting with carbolic acid in 1865 – applying it directly to wounds, bandages and surgical equipment – after hearing it was used to treat sewage. Infection rates following his operations had dropped dramatically. The spray was less effective than applying carbolic acid directly, and it was unpleasant to use, causing skin and respiratory problems for the surgeons, who were reluctant to use it. However, the benefits of antiseptics were clear, and surgery became much safer. A great piece of Medical equipment history. Measures 9″ tall 4″ diameter and 11-1/2 wide. Does not have the bottle to hold the medicine that gets steamed into the air. Please see photos for details.

The Schindler name was TOP QUALITY among physicians worldwide for reasons discussed below. If your want the BEST….. Schindler is the way to go! Rudolf Schindler was known as the “Father Of Gastroscopy” and persecuted by the Nazi regime fled the country to America. His history is rich and well documented…. (18881968) was a German physician, who practiced medicine as a gastroenterologist. He is regarded widely as the. He was born in Berlin. A fascination with marine biology and collection of seashells became a lifelong hobby. Young Schindler’s decision to study medicine derived from his respect and admiration of his maternal uncle Richard Simon, a prominent Berlin ophthalmologist. On graduation from the University of Berlin, Schindler settled happily in a rural practice that was soon interrupted by a call to service as a medical officer in the German Army. During World War I he was impressed by the prevalence of alimentary ailments in both the military and civilian populations. He became convinced that much digestive debility could be traced to morbid conditions in the gastric mucosa, then undetectable by conventional methods of diagnosis. The answer, he concluded, lay in direct inspection of the internal gastric milieuin short, by gastroscopy. Schindler’s clinic in Munich became a mecca for gastroenterologists from around the world. Threatened by Nazi persecution, Schindler emigrated to the United States in 1934 under the aegis of Drs. Marie Ortmayer and Walter Palmer who provided a haven at the University of Chicago. In 1941 Schindler founded a club that eventually became the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, thus opening a promising new field of diagnosis and management of digestive diseases.
