Examples for scarificator

One end of each coiled spring was attached to the scarificator casing and the other to one of the support rods.

By 1780, illustrations in surgical works showed that the bottom of the scarificator was detachable.

Furthermore, the scarificator was so constructed that when the spring was released only internal parts moved.

According to Bayfield, the blades of the scarificator were generally set at ¼″.

After each use, the scarificator was to be cleaned and greased by springing it through a piece of mutton fat.

This special model of scarificator continued to be sold by Coxeter and Son (London) until late in the nineteenth century.

Unlike later attempts at improving cupping technology, the scarificator was almost universally adopted.

The roto-lever, according to Coxeter, could be turned to set the scarificator by a child of six.
