Civil War Era Amputation Kit
Information about the Kit
Background: This amputation kit comes from the Civil War era. These kits were used by surgeons for amputations that could in many cases be performed in about ten minutes.
Hot Commodity: During the Civil War, the most common battlefield injury was being wounded by enemy fire. This often led to amputation of limbs to prevent infection from setting in. There were approximately 30,000 amputations performed during the war, and it's predicted that as many as 75% of all Civil War amputees survived.
