ASSA-Pump

Following a similar principle as the ROTANDA syringe, the glass pump "ASSA" from VEB Glaswerke Schmiedefeld worked on the Rennsteig.

The accompanying prospectus specifies:
"Use for Blood transfusions from vein to vein Infusion and puncture of fluids in body cavities (pleuritis exsudativa) Irrigation of serous - bloody - purulent joint effusions ".

Import from Östrich-Winkel in Hessen.
The place of manufacture Schmiedefeld is a beautiful holiday resort in the Thuringian Forest. The glass factory, a state-owned enterprise of the former German Democratic Republic, was settled with the "turnaround", i. privatized and swallowed by a company based in Bad Homburg.
