Hi all, Jon’s quite close, it is definitely used by a surgeon, but slightly out on date (which I never asked for anyway Lol), and as far as I know this was all used for one type of operation, well away from the urethra...
Cheers

Trepanning set for brain surgery?

Pete

 

[Tim Marlow]

Spot on Peter, from the days before anaesthetic as well. This is a set from the 1700s...apparently they used to close the holes with silver coins...rather them than me!

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

the trephine would be used to screw into the skull to either lift or remove a depressed bone segment.A silver coin beaten flat,shaped and screwed over the hole in the skull and the scalp then replaced and sewn up.on an uppy downy,rocky ship.Not bad.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Basically a brace and bit with a few knives and scrapers thrown in....love the brush for bone dust removal.....

 

[rickoshea52]

I was thinking trepanning but the bores don’t look like any trepanner I have seen or used before.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Rick, I’d like to think the tools had moved on a bit in 250 years, but I’d probably be surprised LOL
