7 most horrifying medical instruments in the history of human development

The same point through the "faces" worthy of the most terrible title, is the left side for the glorious aura of noble achievements in the field of medicine and human cure.

Certainly, medical development has always been one of humankind's most difficult tasks in its history. Along with that, it is impossible not to mention the diverse and rich medical tools - an effective right hand for physicians to cure patients. But the proud achievement related to the life of a person does not always come with beautiful and "pink" things . Here are 7 most concrete and horrifying evidence that make us feel bad about past medical devices:

Blood drawing device

Sharp sharp edges pierce through the skin, while the cylinder is responsible for sucking blood directly out.

Since the early 1800s, people rarely see the presence of live leeches, but the function of the cylinder attached to these knives is exactly the same as the blood-sucking creature above. Sharp sharp edges pierce through the skin, while the cylinder is responsible for sucking blood directly out. Another device that has a similar role is the slitting knife - using up to 10 needles attached to the inner spring to be able to manipulate the stab more effectively, even the way of blood withdrawal is applied according to the mechanism. Heat the device body.

Splint

This tool is exclusively for hernias.

Realizing that the human body is able to heal scars faster if it is in favorable conditions of support, the medical community invented a coping tool specifically for hernia. Specifically, once the lesions in the muscle or tissue are initially treated, the doctor will insert a fixed brace, which is kept for 1 week, to guide the scar tissue to make heal.

Medical saws

This device has features that can facilitate germs and pathogens to stay and hide.

The rescue work, which has also witnessed many difficult cases, has not had a thorough antidote, eventually causing the doctors to decide to cut it off, literally, such as when infected with severe infections. From the time when there was no antibiotic to the present day, there were antibiotic-resistant bacteria, infectious disease has always been one of the main reasons leading to the cruel hearing decisions as above. Even so, people in the medical profession were thankful for its birth, although the method of execution was always a scary and goose-like sight. However, it is ridiculous that saws often have swirling blades, small grooves and a few other features that can facilitate germs and pathogens to stay and hide.

Gripping clamp

This device is used to treat diseases related to the uterus, ovaries or hemorrhoids.

Appeared around the 19th century, this device works to treat diseases related to the uterus, ovarian tumors or hemorrhoids. The wire loop design will be placed around the unwanted growing body part, gradually tightening. Finally, the main nutrient supply of that part will be hindered, causing it to "fall out". This method comes with a lot of pain, especially facing hemorrhoids. However, according to experts, it has not yet penetrated compared with the way of direct removal.

Tool to withdraw names

The tool for extracting names is based on the structure that makes the operations more efficient.

In the 1500s, a patient was accidentally shot by a bow in a sporting event, but when he was taken to the hospital, the doctors were still calm, not hurriedly using his hand to hurry. First, they fixed the arrow to the center of a device that looked like a scissors. But of course, instead of being used for cutting, this is a tool to help pull the arrow out based on the structure that makes the operation more efficient and easier. However, there is still a sharp blade at the edge of the two "more" , which makes it possible to slit a part of the skin around the wound so that it is easier to move the tip of the arrow out (trade a little more pain). agony.

Ball / expanding tool

This device involves examination and diagnosis of female reproductive organs.

Before being officially used in the field of medicine, this is a tool related to the inspection and diagnosis of reproductive organs of women. In the 1600s, its design had many features in contrast to a grip. The mechanism of action involves inserting the opening end into the vagina, then gradually manipulating the reel to further expand.

Syringe

Its size seems to be larger than many syringes now.

Of course, this tool is still very popular even in the present era, but this is an exception, especially in previous periods. With the main structure consisting of a long, thin body and needing pump / suction, its size seems much larger than the needles now. In the 1500s, it was mainly used to inject mercury elements that treat syphilis, often found in couples who love each other on the sea - a place far from both the distance and hygienic environment. .

The good news is that despite its size, it is difficult to damage people (if someone intends to stab behind their backs), bad news: the pump is inserted directly into the urethra, aimed at The goal is to put specific remedy directly into the penis directly. Moreover, sadly, often the toxic elements of mercury are causing people to die faster than when syphilis bacteria are found and destroyed .
