Drainage tube

Kleines Metall"dübel", um 1930

„Pus bonum et laudabile "was once said. But at some point it was said, this pus should be removed from the body ...

Drains were made of rubber, "mêches" of Charpie, but also rigid tubes of glass or metal.
The tube presented here has a length of exactly 30 mm (acquired in Metz-Grigy, part of a "boîte chirurgicale").
