What is it?

Back on topic. We know its not a print duplicator, rock sampler, 3D protractor.

It is a Surgical instrument, but not used to insert something under bone or biopsy the brain.

 

not used for facial reconstruction. It was used during the treatment of a particular type of trauma

 

Like when my head explodes after my wife comes home from shopping ????

 

Is this spinal tap?

 

Nope, not a spinal tap. this was in use in the early 1900's

 

Maybe it's a guide for a drill. like when you need to get through the cranium for a frontal lobotomy.

 

It was used as a guide, but not for a drill or a lobotomy. Surgeons used this device to 'locate' something that needed to be removed.

 

Is that what happened to my other half of a brain?

I've always bragged about my IQ....it's 70...not too shabby for only half a brain !!!

 

Used to locate and remove kidney stones?
