Period
Presumably used c. 1838- 1847; possibly also used later.
Canada
Part of a large collection of medical artifacts, archival material & trade literature transferred to CSTM in 2002 from the former History of Medicine Museum, Toronto, ON.
Function
Used in bleeding of a patient, by application of an incision or by use of leeches. The cupping glass maintains a vacuum so that the blood is drawn to the surface & from the site more quickly. It also acts as a receptacle for the blood.
Technical
During cupping treatment, cups were first immersed in hot water, then the alcohol lamp was lit & inserted into the cups for 20 seconds. The cup was then applied to the skin. Great dexterity was required to lift cup, apply scarificator and recup before the tumefaction had subsided. [Ref. 4]
