Drip chambers from MARTIN, about 1920 

 

In 1911, August MARTIN (1847-1933), gynecologist in Greifswald, invented the notorious "WIGAND-MARTIN-WINCKEL" handle on the breech. Son of gynecologist Edmund Arn. MARTIN (1809-1875), invented this drip chamber, with which one was able to regulate and monitor the dripping speed of perfusions.
