EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, created by Wilson Lowry after an illustration by J. Farey Jr. in Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, published in London in 1812, showcases a collection of surgical trusses from the 19th century. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the medical practices and technological advancements of the time. The trusses depicted in this engraving include Dr. Hulme's palm truss, Mr. Salmon's patent, Mr. Whitford's, Mr. Marrison's for exomphalos, and Mr. Eagland's. These devices were used to support and immobilize various parts of the body during the healing process. Dr. Hulme's palm truss, for instance, was designed to immobilize the hand and wrist, likely used for injuries or conditions affecting these areas. Mr. Salmon's patent truss, on the other hand, appears to be a thoracic or lumbar corset, intended to provide support to the back and chest. Mr. Whitford's truss is a simple bandage-like device, while Mr. Marrison's truss for exomphalos seems to be a specialized device for addressing an abdominal condition known as exomphalos. Lastly, Mr. Eagland's truss is a complex-looking device with multiple straps and buckles, which may have been used for various purposes. This engraving is an essential historical record of the medical devices used during the 19th century, providing valuable insights into the medical practices and advancements of the time. It serves as a reminder of the evolution of medical technology and the dedication of medical professionals to improving patient care and outcomes.
