dc.descriptionSurgery to remove bullets was unbearably painful without anesthesia. In addition, the absence of antibiotics to treat infected wounds and the inability to repair shattered bones often made amputation necessary. Shown in this picture is a small surgical saw, a tenaculum which was used to pull an artery from a stump so that it could be tied to prevent further bleeding and forceps.
