Meanwhile on the patient, a subcutaneous vein (e. g. themedian basilic at the elbow, or the internal saphenous in front of theinternal malleolus) is exposed by incising a fold of skin, and sufficiently-isolated to allow two catgut ligatures to be drawn beneath it. 6. The distal part of the vein is tied with one ligature; the otherligature is pushed beneath the proximal portion.

The exposed vein is opened by raising the upper wall witha fine pair of toothed forceps, beneath which an oblique slit is Fig- 29L made with .a pair of scissors, so f J|that a small flap-like wound isproduced. 8. A canule rounded at thepoint (ofglass, vul-canite or sil-ver) is push-ed into thecentral partof the vein,by raising the flap,and causingthe woundin the veinto gape. The canule is fastenedwith the se-cond catgutthread (fig. 2J1). Introduction of the
