Pewter enema syringe with piston action, 19th century
Five enema syringes made of pewter, one of which has a wooden handle. Two pieces marked with the German brand Hauptner of 30 grams and 100 grams. The ages vary, but the smallest is the oldest
Treating patients via enema dates back to ancient Egypt. It was a common treatment in the 19th century, when stimulants such as tobacco and coffee were used. This piston-action enema syringe was made of tin and was a multi-functional tool. Enemas are now administered before certain operations to flush the intestines as a hygienic measure, or to introduce medications, salts, or minerals into the body. In the past, they were prescribed for minor complaints and ailments such as digestive problems or headaches.
The measurements in lengt with handle closed is 30 cm, 26 cm, 21 cm, 15,5 cm and 10 cm
The total weight is 1234 grams
