Part of a collection of medical technologies donated to the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation by the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society.
Function
Used as a local anesthetic.
Technical
Procaine was used for spinal anaesthesia. It is a less toxic derivative of cocaine which was introduced for local analgesia in 1905. It is synonymous with novocaine hydrochloride. Edward Robinson Squibb graduated from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He immediately became a ship's surgeon in the U.S. Navy, serving during the ongoing Mexican-American War. After the war he ran the medical station at the Brooklyn Naval Yards. As a Navy physician, Squibb became disenchanted with the poor quality of medicines used on American military vessels and, as a result, in 1854 he invented an improved method of distilling ether, an anesthetic. He gave away his distillation method, rather than patent it for profit. In 1858 he left the military and started his own pharmaceutics manufacturing business in Brooklyn. In 1892 Squibb created a partnership with his two sons, Dr. Edward H. Squibb and Charles F. Squibb, the firm being known for generations afterwards as E. R. Squibb and Sons. (ref.2)
