-
A surgical instrument invented by M. Chassaignac, of Paris, which consists of a steel chain, like that of a chain-saw devoid of teeth, which is attached at both ends to a steel mandril, which passes through a hollow steel cylinder. The tightening of the chain is made slowly and with great force, and in the last modification of the instrument is effected by an endless screw with a lever handle, working on a nut cogged on its enter side, which plays on a thread cut on the mandril. The slow bruising it makes is said to be rarely followed by hemorrhage, even in the ease of hemorrhoids, and other vascular tumours.
