Giovanni Alessandro Brambilla devotes two drawers of his surgical instrument kit—both labeled PRO AMPUTAZIONE—to instruments for amputating limbs, a typical procedure in military surgery:
No. XXVII, with falcate and semi-falcate knives;
No. XXVIII, with saws and a tourniquet.
The instruments were made by the cutler Joseph Malliard.
