A trocar is a medical instrument made up of a sharp pointed obturator which fits within the cannula, a hollow tube.
When assembled in this manner, the trocar can be used to pierce into a body cavity. In earlier times, such an instrument was used by medical or veterinary doctors to relieve the build up of fluids or gasses, such as bloat in cows.
Patents for trocars appeared early in the 19th century, although their use dated back possibly thousands of years.
This is a vintage surgical trocar and would make a great addition to your collection of historical medical instruments.
