Part of a collection of medical technologies donated to the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation by the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society. This object was on display as part ‘An Exhibit on Inhalers and Vaporizers, 1847-1968’ at CAS’s Annual Meeting in Ottawa in 2003. Dr. Harry Slater donated this piece to the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society. His research focused on effective ways of anesthetizing children for dental surgery, and he was the Director of the Montreal Anaesthesia Centre in the 1950s and 1960s. Slater’s name is also attached, with that of Ronald Stephen, to the Stephen-Slater nonrebreathing valve. - Function

“Induction of anesthesia for children calls for art as well as skill, and anesthesiologists have been remarkable inventive in developing devices to facilitate smooth and anxiety-free induction.” (ref.1) This toy telephone was modified by Dr. Slater so it could be used as an inhaler to provide anesthesia to children. - Area Notes
