The McManus Gallery and Dundee Medical Innovations and Pioneering

While spending time in Dundee, some of us decided to go to the McManus Art Gallery & Museum in the old section of town. The museum had many different sections (such as the history of Dundee, the natural ecosystems of Dundee, the relations between Dundee/Scotland and the world, and many more exhibits) and even had a display case about medical innovations that originated from and/or used in Dundee. Within this display case, they had five different biomedical devices such as an X-Ray tube, urethral bougies, and sutures that were used in the Dundee Royal Infirmary. Along with showing these biomedical devices, they had images and descriptions of scientists and researchers who have made novel discoveries, such as Professor Sir Alfred Cuschieri who is internationally known as a pioneer and leader in the field of laparoscopic/keyhole surgery. Attached below are some images of the display objects as well as the associated descriptions.
