Surgical Trephine Crank – Second Half Of The 19th Century
Surgical Trephine Crank – 19th century
A nickel-plated steel surgical instrument with a curved shape, featuring a support knob and a chuck designed to hold various interchangeable tools.
This type of crank served as the driving mechanism for the trephine, used primarily for trepanation of the skull.
The rotational motion imparted to the crank handle drove either a drill bit or a toothed ring designed to cut out a circular section of bone.
The specimen shown here retains a pointed drill bit.
