| Thenceforward the world was an oyster, to be opened with scalpel and with bistoury by Owen Saxham. |
| This done, a clean incision is made with the bistoury or the scalpel in the direction of the vessels. |
| This should be picked up with the forceps, and a further incision made with the bistoury. |

| The instruments which he originally used were more often the bistoury or scalpel, although the clarinet was not absent in his life. |
| The mere thought of surgical instruments, a bistoury or a lance, makes me dizzy. |
