Box Of Urological Probes Benique Candles Surgical Tools

This box includes surgeon's tools, everything is from the beginning of the 20th century. These instruments developed by Pierre-Jules Béniqué (1806-1851) were used to dilate the male urethra, following a narrowing linked to a local bacterial or parasitic infection, causing urinary retention. These curved probes have an increasing numbering from 37 to 60. From one graduation to the next, the diameter varies by one-sixth of a mm. These instruments were used extensively during the Great War due to the large number of venereal diseases at the time. We note stains on the box, loose angles, note that a screw is missing at the clasp, oxidation on the plate of copper, traces of wear and deformations on the tools.
