Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Ontario
Period: This type of apparatus used c. 1870-1900; possibly also used later.
Canada: Part of a large collection of medical artifacts, archival material & trade literature transferred to CSTM in 2002 from the former History of Medicine Museum, Toronto, ON.
Function: Permits attachment of tubes, and permits suspension of bottle used for delivery of anestethic preparation to patient.
Technical: This apparatus in it's unmodified form, as here, was extremely dangerous because it lacks valves to control intake, and contains double tubes which, if incorrectly connected, cause the patient to intake liquid chloroform. Hook mounted on top used to suspend bottle from anaesthetist's lapel. [Ref. 3]
Area Notes: Unknown
