Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:918939
Original Description:
 This is for a Vintage Davidson Pneumothorax Apparatus by J. Sklar Manufacturing Co Long Island NYMounted in a wooden box with dovetailed corners. It is in good cosmetic condition, I  have no idea how it works, so it is being sold AS IS, for decorative purposes only. 
Here is some information about it:The Davidson Pneumothorax Apparatus was patented in 1933 by Louis R. Davidson, a tuberculosis specialist. It was used to treat tuberculosis by causing an artif...icial pneumothorax (collapsing the lung by directly introducing air in the chest cavity). This treatment, originally developed in the 1890's by Carlos Forlanini, was thought to heal the lung quickly by allowing the lung to rest. This modified version which replaced Forlanini's device and became a well-known instrument, was used to treat tuberculosis until the BCG vaccine became popular in the mid 1940'. Buyer to pay shipping on 15 pounds.
