An instrument, invented by Cabanis of Geneva to draw out the extremity of the stylet when passed into the nose, in the operation for fistula lacrymalis. It is composed of two plates of silver, pierced with several holes, and movable on each other. To use it, the instrument must be carried into the nose, so that the holes of the two plates correspond. When the end of the stylet is received into one of these holes, it is pinched, by sliding one of the plates on the other, and is easily withdrawn.
