Box of urological probes Candles of Beniqué surgical tools

This box includes surgeon's tools, everything is from the early twentieth century. These instruments developed by pierre-jules béniqué (1806-1851) were used to dilate the male urethra, following a narrowing related to a local bacterial or parasitic infection, causing urinary retention. These probes, curved, have an increasing numbering from 37 to 60. From one graduation to the next, the diameter varies by one-sixth of a mm. These instruments were used extensively during the great war due to the large number of venereal diseases at the time. We report stains on the box, peeled corners, note that a screw is missing at the clasp, oxidation on the copper plate, traces of wear and deformation on the tools.
