This image showcases the intricacy and complexity of medical equipment from the past, specifically a Visicks Ether Bottle from the year 1930. The ether bottle, with its distinctive glass body and brass fittings, is a testament to the advancements in medical technology during this era. The bottle features an oxygen inlet at the bottom, allowing for the administration of ether and oxygen mixtures during surgical procedures. The two yards of rubber tubing attached to the bottle indicate the length required to deliver the anesthetic gases to the patient. This ether bottle is just one of the many medical appliances showcased in this extensive 2000-page catalogue. The catalogue, a treasure trove of medical history, provides a glimpse into the vast array of equipment available during this time. The intricate details of each item reveal the meticulous craftsmanship and innovative design that characterized medical equipment in the early 20th century. The use of ether as an anesthetic dates back to the mid-19th century, and by the 1930s, it had become a standard component of surgical procedures. The addition of oxygen to the ether mixture helped to improve the safety and effectiveness of the anesthetic, making it a crucial addition to any surgical setup. This ether bottle, with its oxygen inlet and lengthy rubber tubing, represents not only a significant advancement in anesthesia but also a fascinating glimpse into the history of medical equipment. Its inclusion in this extensive catalogue underscores the importance of documenting and preserving the rich history of medical technology.
