ANTIQUE PETIT SCREW TOURNIQUET PROBABLY ORIGINATING FROM AN AMPUTATION SET. DATES FROM BEFORE 1880 WHEN STERILISATION TECHNIQUES WERE ADOPTED. MADE FROM BRASS AND A KIND OF CANVAS WEBBING WITH A TOOTHED SLIDING BAR TO ADJUST WIDTH. JEAN LOUIS PETIT DESIGNED THIS TOUNIQUET IN 1718 TO OCCLUDE BLOOD FLOW DURING SURGICAL PROCEDURES BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED BY THE NEWER ESMARCH DEVICE IN 1873. THIS HAS BEEN PART OF A LARGE MEDICAL DISPLAY, THE SCREW IS FIXED AND I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO LUBRICATE THIS ,SO WILL LEAVE THAT TO THE BUYER.
