heister

The spring lancet was initially described by Lorenz Heister in 1719.

The instrument was not found in Dionis , but it did appear in Heister and in Garengeot .

The German surgeon, Lorenz Heister, was more appreciative of the innovation.

A word must be said of the later writers such as Par (1509-90), Scultetus , and Heister .

Heister, for instance, shows as a lithotomy knife a large knife, like a phlebotome in shape.
