Dr Mitchell Henry O'Sullivan worked in the Victorian country town of Casterton as a general practitioner from 1919 until his death in 1977. He also practiced obstetrics. His son, Dr David More O'Sullivan donated his obstetric bag and its contents to the College in 1999. The bag and contents are a unique time capsule of the type of instruments and pharmaceuticals used in the inter-war period.Hypodermic glass syringe (.1) with three hypodermic needles (.2 - .4) and metal storage case (.5 - .6). Barrel of syringe is marked from with measurements from 0-20. .2 is a needle head with a rounded flange tapering towards the needle shaft. .3 and .4 are needle heads with flattened oval bulbs, attached to a round bead which holds the needle shaft. The case is oval in shape with the word 'Crystal' engraved diagonally into the top of the lid. There are two fixings attached inside the bottom of the case which form a cradle for the storage of the syringe.'Crystal'

This needle was owned and used by Dr William Geoffrey Wicks and was referred to as a "boomerang needle".

Distal end of metal shaft tapers at an angle to a needle point. Proximal end of needle shaft forks to create a handle shape with a rounded bulb at the end. Underside on needle is stamped "J.AUSTIN" and "STAINLESS". "J. AUSTIN" "STAINLESS"surgery

This instrument was used by Dr Fritz Duras (1896-1965), who moved to Australia from Germany in 1937. As his father was Jewish, Duras was forced to leave Germany, and came to Australia to take up a post as director of physical education at Melbourne University. This instrument was part of a collection of instruments given to his son-in-law, Dr Michael Kloss, who was an obstetrician. Dr Kloss subsequently had it engraved and used it in his own practice, before donating the item to the College. Metal instrument used for cervical sutures. Instrument consists of a handle and shaft. The end of the shaft is curved so as the tip of the instrument is almost perpendicular to the handle. The end of the shaft is in the shape of a loop to allow for sutures to be passed through it. The handle of the instrument is engraved with the word 'KLOSS'.'KLOSS'obstetrics

Used for laparoscopy in gynaecology as well as in general surgery. Named for János Veres(s) (1903–1979), a Hungarian internist working with tuberculosis patients. At the time, one of the mainstays of treatment was to collapse an infected lung and allow lesions to heal. The needle was introduced as a safer technique to give patients such pneumothoraces. It was not until 1938, when he published his invention in the German literature, that the needle became more broadly known outside of Hungary. (Wikipedia) Believed to have been used and donated by Dr Geoff Bishop.Two Veres needles of differing lengths. Metal, spring loaded needle with an outer cannula and an inner stylus. Consists of a thin, hollow shaft with a bevelled point at one end, encasing a spring loaded needle/stylus with an eyelet at the end. Opposite end of needle consists of an open valve leading to the inner needle with a bulbous connection point. There is a round protrusion at the bottom of the bulbous connection point, and a small oval shaped grip at the top of this point, running parallel to the body of the instrument. A metal barrel containing the spring sits adjacent to the connection point. The barrel can be unscrewed to access the spring inside. The oval shaped grip on the shorter needle is engraved with the text 'WISAP/W. GERMANY'. The oval shaped grip on the longer needle is engraved with the number '3'. The number '30 is also engraved at the base of the barrel on the longer needle. 'WISAP/W.GERMANY', '3'gynaecology, surgery

This item was located in storage along with a newsletter from the Hungarian Society of Gynaeocological Endoscopists. The newsletter was produced in English to commemorate the ISGE (International Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy) meeting which was held in Hungary in August 2000. The newsletter contains an article on János Veres, the inventor of the needle, and an interview with his surviving family. It is possible that the replica needle was given as a gift to attendees of the meeting.Metal, spring loaded needle with an outer cannula and an inner stylus.
