Amputation saws,19th century
Amputation saws. At the top is a Weiss Improved Amputation Saw from around 1835,with deep notches designed to prevent clogging of the blade with bone and tissue. Below it is a metacarpal saw (for cutting through bones of the hand) from about 1810. Amputation was generally the only treatment option when infection or trauma occurred in the limbs and extremities in early nineteenth century medicine. Survival rates for amputees were poor. Anaesthesia and antiseptic surgical techniques were introduced in the second half of the 19th century. These allowed the development of more refined surgical techniques and reduced infection,and amputation survival rates greatly improved
