Anaesthetic inhaler, 1901. This is a Braun Inhaler, invented in 1901 by Heinrich Braun (1862-1934), a German surgeon. This inhaler used ether and/or chloroform to anaesthetise patients for surgery. The scales on the glass indicated how much anaesthetic the patient received. The taps at the top controlled how much air was mixed with the chloroform and ether. The vapours were inhaled via a face mask connected to the device with rubber tubing.
