Junker Type Chloroform Anaesthetic Inhaler
On application
A Junker Type Chloroform Anaesthetic Inhaler, C 1930.
Dr. Ferdinand E. Junker (1828-1901) was born and educated in Vienna, Austria. His career took him to England, Germany, and Japan. In 1867, he introduced his inhaler for bichloride of methylene, which is a mixture of chloroform and methyl alcohol. It was the first inhaler to use the “blow-over” principle, pushing air over the liquid anesthetic by means of a hand-pumped rubber bellows. Over the next sixty years more than a dozen modifications of the Junker Inhaler were introduced.
