SKLAR Surgical Dilator Dilator Instrument Set 6pc Canvas Roll Vintage c1940
Vintage six-piece SKLAR stainless steel surgical instrument set housed in its original-style khaki canvas roll. The instruments have long polished shafts with curved, blunt working ends in graduated configurations and are individually secured by sewn canvas retaining loops.
One instrument is clearly stamped “SKLAR STAINLESS,” identifying the maker as Sklar, a long-established American surgical-instrument supplier. Based on the form of the instruments and their graduated curved ends, these appear to be a set of surgical dilators, rather than general probes or retractors. The utilitarian canvas roll and all-metal construction give the set the appearance of portable field or institutional medical equipment.
