A SIMPLE CYSTOSCOPE HOLDER [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1914 Cystoscope holders are made either in the form of a floor-stand or to be attached to the examining-table. They are usually either too heavy or too bulky for supporting a light instrument like a cystoscope, while some are complicated and clumsy. I have constructed a holder which is easy to manage, simple in construction, light and strong and will hold ...
