Summary

Description
English: The above Illustrated apparatus was Invented by Dr. William Guelpa, the famous Paris physician, for the treatment of all fractures complicated with gangrene. Infection makes it necessary to keep the wound open so the break cannot be set in the ordinary way. The apparatus saves the patient excruciating pain caused by the slightest movement in position. A frame of steel rods, gripping the body and pulley attachments makes It possible to lift the patient from his cot and wash the wound freely with antiseptic, and perform other necessary daily work.
