Description: J.F. Hartz Co. Tonsil Guillotine This early 20th-century J.F. Hartz Co. tonsillectomy guillotine is a remarkable example of historical medical instruments, representing the methods once used in surgical procedures. Crafted by the Toronto-based J.F. Hartz Co., a surgical instruments maker established in 1897 and now part of Ferndale Pharma Group, this piece is in excellent, fully functional condition. Designed to remove tonsils in a single swift motion, this guillotine was eventually abandoned due to issues with excessive blood loss and incomplete tonsil removal. Despite its obsolete use, it remains a fascinating artifact, showcasing early surgical innovation and the evolution of medical practices.
