Richet-type forceps, Paris, France, 1851-1900
Title
Richet-type forceps, Paris, France, 1851-1900
Description

These forceps were used to grip growths in the uterus and can be held in position by means of a mechanism on the handle. Richet was a French doctor and it was not uncommon for instrument makers to improve and invent new objects – which then carried their name. This item was purchased when the surgical instrument makers, Charrière, Collin and Gentile, sold their collection in 1978.

maker: Collin

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