Thread donor (1)

Refillable surgical thread dispenser (H: 16 cm, D: 6.5 cm) from Braun Melsungen (around 1951). The 100 meter long thread lay in a disinfected liquid. Each time before use, the bottle was tilted (hence the name "tilting bottle") and thus disinfected the end of the thread. Thereafter, the lid was opened and removed suture, then closed and disinfected by tipping again.
