Description from the seller
Bayeux oxygen injection device for hypodermic oxygen therapy, by Jules Richard, circa 1920
This oxygen injection device was designed for hypodermic oxygen therapy, that is, the intravenous administration of oxygen for therapeutic purposes. The device bore the name of its inventor, Dr. Bayeux. Made by Jules Richard in Paris, it enjoyed great popularity in the early 20th century and was used to treat diseases such as tuberculosis.
"Precision oxygenator" designed by Raoul Bayeux.
Manufactured by the Parisian instrument maker Jules Richard, this device was intended for both research and clinical practice. From 1912 to 1921, Bayeux used it to study the effects of subcutaneous oxygen on the symptoms of altitude sickness. His experiments were conducted at the Vallot Observatory on Mont Blanc, as well as in the hypobaric chamber at the Saint-Cyr aeronautical station. The results were deemed sufficiently promising for him to recommend prophylactic administration of subcutaneous oxygen to pilots and passengers before a flight. 16-20
