Collin-type forceps, with saw and spare blade, Paris, France
Title
Collin-type forceps, with saw and spare blade, Paris, France
Description

This ingenious device has forceps and a saw incorporated into the design of an instrument used for bone surgery. It was not uncommon for instrument makers to improve and invent new objects. Collin inherited Charrière’s famous surgical instrument makers in 1867 with another of Charrière’s pupils, Robert. Charrière had also been famous for his innovative designs. This item came from the surgical instrument makers, now called Charrière, Collin and Gentile, who sold their collection in 1978.

maker: Collin

Place made: Paris, Ville de Paris, Île-de-France, France
