 Used to spread the cut thin slices onto water
using surface tension from where it is placed onto
glass slides.
 RYLE’S TUBE OR NASOGASTRIC TUBE

 Uses:
 Used for nasogastric suction (or at times
inroduction of food and drugs).
 FNAC NEEDLES

 Uses:
 Used for fine needle aspiration of material from
inside the body; used for diagnostic examinations
of the cells hence obtained.
 TREPHINE BIOPSY NEEDLE

 Uses:
 Used to test lung function
 MERCURY OR OTHER MANOMETERS

 Uses:
 Used to measure pressure of a fluid within a
cavity like the spinal canal, which is raised in
certain diseases.
