Medical artifacts including a cystoscope, pill roller, Lindsay style ophthalmoscope, McKenzie polygraph machine, sputum flask, atomizer, and an articulator.

Over the years, thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Strauss Health Sciences Library has received numerous donations of historical medical artifacts.

Many of our contemporary medical devices have evolved from these earlier artifacts, and while some designs exhibit recognizable similarities, others do not.
