DescriptionThis object is a small surgical clamp. The tip of the object is comprised of a small, cylindrical portion that fits within a small socket, and can be used to secure surgical bandages and fabrics in place. The clamp arm is tipped with a small, ball-like appendage. The two shanks of the object are joined by a flat hinge located at the base of the object. "H.PFAU GERMANY" is stamped in small text on the exterior of one of the shanks towards the tip of the object. Heavy levels of corrosion are visible around the tip of the object, as well as within the stamped text and around the hinge.On View
