This instrument was used to evacuate fluids, particularly for pleurisy — an inflammation of the pleura, the membrane surrounding the lungs, which often causes fluid build-up in the pleural cavity.
It could also be used to drain urine from a retained bladder or release gas from an intestinal strangulation caused by a hernia. Additionally, it could be used to inject fluids.
