Brown Buerger Cystoscope

Brown Buerger Cystoscope (Goddard Collection)

In 1899, F Tilden Brown of Baltimore, used two different lens systems to visualise the bladder; they could be swapped over using the same sheath to prevent re-instrumentation of the urethra.

Leo Buerger expanded on this idea of passing different instruments down the same outer sheath and the Brown-Buerger Cystoscope, introduced in 1907, became a standard instrument for years.
