    Plates V. & VI. INSTRUMENTS FOR EXSECTION OF BONES. Fig. l. Hey's saw. Fig. 2. Knife-shaped saw. Fig. 3. Small semicircular saw.—a, surface for a point of support to the index ringer of the hand, holding the instrument, when it is desired to em- ploy force with precision of motion. Fig. 4. Larrey's straight saw. Fig. 5. Martin's saw.—This consists of a rod, a b, with a circular saw at its extremity, c. A rotary motion is given to the rod, a b, and to the saw at its extremity, by another rod, d e, which is connected with the first by a universal joint, /. This arrangement allows the saw to move freely at any angle which the two rods may form with each other. The extremity, //, of the rod, d e, fits into the shaft of a trepan (fig. 5, bis) which is moved by an assistant, whilst the operator, holding the handle, i, which is traversed by the rod, a b, directs the action of the saw and graduates its force, using more or less pressure, as may be required. Saws of different diameters, j. or shaped like a mushroom, k, may be fitted to the rod, a b, according to circumstances. Fig. G. Charriere's rowel saw.—A crank, a, moves the wheel, b, the teeth of which, interlocking with those of the wheels, c d e, transmit a rotary motion t>> th • saw,/. By means of this instrument, which is solid, firm. and of easy application, we can operate on bones which are very deeply seated. Saws of different diameters can he adapted to it. Fig. 7. Dupuytren's perforator.—An instrument used for breaking up deeply seated sequestra, when they cannot be withdrawn whole on account of the narrowness of the external opening. Two serrated jaws, </</. which can lie opened and closed at will, grasp the bony fragment, which is then acted upon by a central drill, put in motion by a bow, the string of which encircles the grooved wheel, c. Fig. 8. Liston's hone forceps, used for dividing small bones at a single cut. Fig. 9. Strong forceps, for holding steadily a portion of hone whilst being sawn. Pig. in. Forceps for the extraction of sequestra. FigS. II and \J.. Chisel and gOUge. Fin-. 13, Leaden mall.'!. Pig. I l. Rasp. Pig. i.j. Olive-shaped cautery-iron, in its handle. Pig. Mi.
