oh my i would need that to reinflate my collapsed lung, because a pneumothorax apparatus has no other purpose. hi five bro
Martin gets another attempt to kill the thread by ignoring it. It is a pneumothorax device, but it technically is not used to re-inflate a collapsed lung (which is the common name for a pneumothorax). The device was actually most commonly used to induce an artificial pneumothorax as a treatment for Tuberculosis. http://mcgovernhrc.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/pneumothorax-apparatus/ Hence the clues "Finding Numo" and the Dr Zeuss classic "Le Thorax".
Ok, Since I stumped everyone and Martin declared the opposite of what the device was used for, I'll go again. What is it?
Can't be. This tool has a hook for holding something cylindrical ala a tubing bender. Can't figure the spring end yet though.
