Seen at a U.S. Civil War reenactment last autumn
According to "The Journal of Antiques and Collectibles," Union surgeons during the war "were issued all-purpose surgical sets outfitted for an array of battlefield injuries. Along with amputation instruments, these typically included trephines, retractors, bullet extractors, razors, forceps, along with lancets, tourniquets, tweezers, bone gougers, hooks, probes, scalpels, surgical razors, suturing needles, and wedge-shaped Hey's Saws, useful in skull surgery."
Well over a hundred years old, this case contains my Civil War style surgeon's instruments and medicines that I use as part of my portrayal of a US Civil War era sawbones.
This is a #15 surgical scalpel blade. It is usually used for small and delicate procedures.
The photograph is a composite of eight separate images. The length from the scalpel point to the edge of the photograph is 2cm.
THE TEMPLE OF KOM OMBO is an unusual double temple constructed during the Ptolemaic period, which lasted from 108 to 47 BC. The ancient Egyptian place of worship features a unique engraving that is thought to be among the first representations of medical and surgical instruments.
The relief showing the medical tools is among the most intriguing features of the temple. It can be found in the building’s rear, in the passageway that surrounds the main area. The depicted surgical instruments include scalpels, curettes, forceps, specula, scissors, medicine bottles, and prescriptions. The image is completed with two goddesses sitting on birthing chairs. At the time the relief was carved, Egyptian medical science was almost certainly the most advanced in the world.
This photograph was taken in 2008 at the Royal Australian Navy's Heritage Centre at Garden Island, Sydney.
It had no curatorial plaque, but the nameplate indicates that it was made by Arnold & Sons, a British surgical instrument maker.
The handles appear to be cross hatched ebony. The long bladed knives at the front are Liston knives; their use is for cutting through muscle during amputation. They were developed by a Crimean War (1854 - 1856) surgeon, Dr. Liston. This dates the kit as being from during or after that period. The work of Joseph Lister (different spelling) in 1867 led to revelations that porous material should not be used for the manufacture of handles on surgical instruments due to their propensity to harbour germs. Hence this kit can be safely dated between 1854 and 1870.
The whole kit is contained in a chest made from mahogany with brass reinforcements.
Garden Island contains the RAN's Fleet Base East and the Garden Island Dockyard and as such there is restricted public access only to a segregated area on the North-eastern tip of the Island. Access is achieved by taking the Watson's Bay ferry from Circular Quay, which stops at Garden Island after a 6-minute trip around the Sydney Opera House.
Entry to the museum style gallery is free for kids, and costs $5 for Adults.
The Gallery has a large display which is drawn from some 300,000 artifacts which the RAN holds in its extensive archives which are otherwise unavailable for public viewing - so whatever goes on display must of necessity be a carefully chosen sample.

01-30-09 - I had these tools in my eye today. It was quite unpleasant.
Basically, I had to have minor surgery on my left eyelid to correct a chalazion that appeared a few months ago and stubbornly refused to leave.
I get all the fun.

“And now gentlemen, all for one, one for all - that is our motto, is it not?” ― Alexandre Dumas; ‘The Three Musketeers’.
“Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno” is a Latin phrase that means "One for all, all for one" in English. This phrase (in French, “un pour tous, tous pour un”) was made famous by its use in the novel ‘The Three Musketeers’. It is the unofficial motto of Switzerland (Einer für alle, alle für einen) too.
"In many operating rooms there's a hierarchy among surgical team members. Crew resource management changes that culture to one of communication and teamwork." ― Stephen Smith, M.D.; chief medical officer of The Nebraska Medical Center.
