Represents a steel scoop to extract the stone when it is broke into small fragments: the small end serving to search for a stone in the bladder through the wound which is made into it. Fig. 9. Denotes a steel director to conduct the gorget through the urethra in extracting the stone from women with or without cutting. Fig. 10. Represents a pair of stone forceps, of which there should be several sizes agreeable to the age and stone to be extracted: and therefore there should be four or five from the size of that in the table to about a foot long. Mr. Sharp observes of these forceps, that they ought to be made so as not to meet close at the extremities when they are shut; that the teeth should not be so large as to break the stone, nor seated too near the hinge, which should be made to move freely. Fig. 11. Represents half a catheter without lateral apertures at the extremity, as in Fig. 2. having only a circular opening at the end, which is shut up in the introduction of it by the globular button of the included wire, which is never extracted in this instrument as it is in the others (Fig. 1, 2.); but when it is passed into the bladder, the wire is thrust forward, by which means the button is removed from the extremity, and a free passage is made for the urine. This is said to pass more easily through the urethra without wounding or catching against its sides. THE Bronchotomy, operation of, 4». 223. p. 214.
