Beschrijving
Sandon's prototype cleft palate forceps, carbon steel, by Roland Somervell, 1956.
Used to grip the mucosa under the palate shelf.
This prototype was made for Raoul Sandon by Roland Somervell, an employee of surgical instrument manufacturers Downs Brothers. The BAPRAS Antony Wallace Archive holds a letter sent to Sandon by Somervell in 1956, enclosing these forceps in response to a discussion between the two men. It doesn't appear that the forceps ever went into production.
