| Thenceforward the world was an oyster, to be opened with scalpel and with bistoury by Owen Saxham. |
| The mere thought of surgical instruments, a bistoury or a lance, makes me dizzy. |
| The cutting blade 1 of the bistoury and the mechanism for fitting it in the handle are known and therefore they are not described herein. |
| The instruments which he originally used were more often the bistoury or scalpel, although the clarinet was not absent in his life. |
| Once, as she passed him a bistoury, he deliberately placed his fine hand over her fingers and smiled into her eyes. |
| This should be picked up with the forceps, and a further incision made with the bistoury. |
