Amputation saw, Europe, 1501-1600 |
||
| Description |
The ornate appearance of this amputation saw was not unusual for this period. The saw is 500 mm long yet the blade is barely half of the total length. Such ornate designs declined in the 1600s as the curves and frills of the saw could catch on soft tissue during surgery, causing the patient even more pain. These decorative features also provided a good environment in which germs could thrive. The ornate handles were often uncomfortable for the surgeon to use as the saw had to be gripped tightly to ensure a precise amputation. maker: Unknown maker Place made: Europe Wellcome Images |
