Amputation Tourniquet by "Samson - Paris "

A very rare amputation tourniquet, a variation of Tiemann's Direct Pressure Tourniquet first marketed by him in the early 1840's (Tiemann catalogue).

Much larger (4" X 5") than the more common Petit's Tourniquets which were made by various medical houses. Maker-marked and made by Samson, Paris, a contemporary of Charriere dating to the 1850's.

Near mint condition, all original and perfect in every way with original straps and pads.
