Description
Syringe from the wreck Deltebre I, which was part of the surgical instruments used on the ship to treat sick or wounded sailors and soldiers. There was usually a doctor on board on the ships, although the position of the barber-surgeon used to be more frequent. Instruments were available in the “surgery boxes” to treat wounds, such as scalpels, scissors, forceps, fracture immobilisers, amputation saws, forceps, metal catheters, etc.
