A consideration of all the various operations to which the phlebotome was put bears this out. |
There is, however, an instrument of bronze of phlebotome shape in the Naples Museum. |
It was found along side an instrument which I take to be a phlebotome. |
The phlebotome is by far the best preserved and best authenticated example which we possess of this instrument. |
Heister, for instance, shows as a lithotomy knife a large knife, like a phlebotome in shape. |
The identity in shape of the abscess knife and the phlebotome holds good to-day. |
