Salvaging the PDH Page 3 PDH Main Page PDH Page 1 PDH Page 2 PDH Page 3 Columbus PDH Back to Civil Defense Museum Main		On these 3 pages I will try to catalog a little of what I found in the remains of the PDH stock. I don't have any knowledge of medical items or procedures so I have just put up the pictures with my best-guess commentary on what is in the picture. Here are some of the smaller odds and ends from the stock. These bedpans are some of the coolest things that I found. There were about 15 of these left in a case that had been broken open. They don't make 'em like this anymore. They were all in new condition. If you have bed pans you have to have urinals. There were a number of these stainless urinals still sealed in their original boxes. The quality of these is really amazing. The brushed finish on this old medical stuff is really sharp. These are tracheotomy cannulas. These are the tubes that are put through the hole when a tracheotomy is done. Some of them are tarnished. They are made of sterling silver. This is a ether anesthesia inhaler mask. Gauze pads are placed over the screen and soaked in ether. The spring on the left holds the gauze down. The mask is then placed over the mouth and nose so the patient has to breath through it. This arm splint is one of 12 that were still in the pile. These splints are made of material similar to circuit board material. I guess you wrap bandages through the holes in the splint to hold the arm in place. 1 ounce Dixie medicine cups. Brand-new condition. I still have about 1000 of these things.
