At the junction of the 19th and 20th centuries, medicine undergoes significant transformations thanks to advances in anatomy, surgery, asepsis, and the organization of hospital care -

In this context, illustrated practical manuals occupy an essential place in the training of doctors, surgeons, and nursing staff, as they complement theoretical knowledge by the observation of precise technical gestures -

The work fits into this pedagogical tradition by combining written explanations with visual representations intended to facilitate the learning of the different methods of contention and protection of the body -
