Surgical Instrument: Chassaignac Chain Crusher.

Early accounts of fibrous growths being removed from the uterus usually involved passing a ligature around the base of a polyp, and day by day it was tightened, usually by twisting until the mass tearing. Such ligatures and twists prevailed until the crusher, originally designed by Chassaignac for the removal of hemorrhoids, was adopted for use in gynecology. He surrounds the mass with a loop of chain that crushes as it is reduced in size, and by lacerating rather than cutting it, it reduces the risk of bleeding. Subsequently, the instrument evolved and the chain was replaced by a thread to facilitate application to the tumor. A fine example of the curved ecraseur from Chassaignac circa 1880, marked Pradal Lyon. Length 47cm, width 22cm.
