Abstract
AbstractDraffin's rods or bipods are now a well-known, internationally accepted ENT instrument. Before their invention in 1951, the attendant anaesthetist or nurse was obliged to support the mouthgag during tonsillectomy.Research into the life of their originator, David Alexander Draffin, reveals that in addition to his evident design skills, he was a surgeon of courage, wit and great charm.
