EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medical history - the Sphygmometer by Collin, circa 1900. Crafted in France by the renowned instrument maker Collin, this device played a crucial role in demonstrating arterial blood pressure during its time. The Sphygmometer employed an aneroid manometer, positioned vertically over the patient's wrist to measure their radial pulse. Constructed from nickel with a rubber end, this particular design is known as the Cruise sphygmometer. It owes its name to Sir Francis Richard Cruise, an innovative Irish surgeon who not only invented this apparatus but also made significant contributions to medical science through his invention of the endoscope. The brown background adds a touch of vintage charm to this antique instrument that symbolizes advancements in cardiovascular medicine during the early 20th century. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how far medical technology has come and appreciate those pioneering minds like Collin and Cruise who paved the way for modern devices used in monitoring blood pressure. This print serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and a reminder of our continuous quest for better healthcare solutions. It stands as an intriguing artifact from another era when instruments like these were at the forefront of medical innovation.
