In a biographical paragraph about Mathias Mayor, a Swiss surgeon. Context: "Mathias Mayor naît en 1775 et obtient le grade de docteur à Pavie. En 1806 il est nommé chirurgien en chef de l’hôpital cantonal de Lausanne, une charge qu’il conservera jusqu’à sa mort. Il améliore de nombreux procédés opératoires, met au point un **constricteur à chapelet** pour extirper les goitres...". What is this instrument called in English, please? Thanks in advance for any help!

Note also the mention of "tourniquet de Mayor" in the last link - "bead tourniquet" was in fact my first thought when I read the French description of his instrument.

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Worth bearing in mind in case of an emergency on a desert island. Mayor's knot-tyer also, I believe.//Yeuch. Given the description, despair must have been at its height. I'd have opted for the Black Forest Cake instead ...

  -> desert island reading? check out the article on poisoning by bad sausages on page 30 of the last link (among other amusing bits) ;-)
