ScaraficatorsDescription
These are multi-bladed devices used for drawing blood, usually for a "wet" cupping procedure. After being cocked the instrument is placed on the skin and when the switch is pressed many sharp blades rapidly cut through. Those of French design characteristically are round like the one on the left which was by Collin. To the right, both of the brushed gold ones were made by US manufacturer Arnold and Sons. The illustration is from Laurence Heister’s “A General System of Surgery” (1743).Condition
