In France, Charles-Gabriel Pravaz (1791-1853), a doctor born in Pont-de-Beauvoisin in Isère, was interested in the coagulation of aneurysmal pockets. Having noted the powerful coagulating properties of ferric chloride, he thought of instilling a few drops of this product into the aneurysm. He had Charrière make a syringe consisting of a pump body and a silver piston. The stroke of the piston was regulated by a screw thread. The piston disc was made of leather. The cannula, equipped with a trocar, was screwed onto the end of the pump body. It was therefore possible to assess the quantity of liquid injected.
