Up for sale is a rare Civil War medical Trocar for removing fluids from the body. The Trocar is in over nice condition measuring 9 overall. The black ebony handle is also in good condition free of cracks or chips.
Be sure to check my additional auctions for more medical tools including the original case from the set. Please view photos for condition, and ask any questions before close of sale. Last image used from the National Museum of History site. A trocar is used to withdraw fluid from a body cavity.
This example is steel with an ebony handle, and a tubular silver canula that fits over trocar. It resembles the Buck rectal trocar offered by Tiemann & Co. United States: New York, New York City.
