Yale New Haven Health

Yale New Haven Hospital surgeons used stainless steel utensils for the first time during this 1933 procedure. The Urology department was the first to have access to the utensils. Before the stainless steel, the hospital used white enamel utensils that had to be replaced every couple months. Photo courtesy of the YNHH Archives.
