Antique Surgical Tracheotomy Set – Down Brothers – c1910

Short Description

A nice complete cased set of tracheotomy instruments by Down Brothers, London. Case identifies the maker and their premises opposite Guy’s Hospital.

The set comprises two ebony handled retractors, an ebony handled scalpel and a set of tracheotomy forceps, all with makers mark. The 1910 catalogue for Downs [See Welcome Foundation Collection ] indicated that the design for the dilating forceps was after a design by Dr St Clair Thomson, Professor of Laryngology at King’s College Hospital. In addition, a three silvered tracheotomy cannulae of differing sizes. All housed in the original covered box which is showing some wear but truly authentic.

Down Brothers was founded in 1874 and had premises opposite Guy’s Hospital at 21 & 23 St Thomas's Street, London from 1879. They were incorporated as a Limited Company in 1902 although this detail may be unreliable as dating evidence [there is no mention of the Limited on the box]. Later, circa 1946 they amalgamated with Mayer & Phelps and moved to Mitcham Surrey.
