Description
Pair of curved trocars in a case. Trocars are medical instruments consisting of a sharp-tipped probe (obturator) which is passed through a cannula (hollow tube) for insertion into vessels or cavities within the body, allowing accumulations of fluid or gas to be drained or released. This set is English and dates from around 1860.
