名詞

capiat (複数形 capiats)

1. (medicine, obsolete) An instrument for removing foreign bodies from a cavity, such as placental remnants from the uterus.
   • 1891, Ferdinand Eugene Daniel, Medical Insurance:

     Fragments of the membranes, or placenta, may be readily removed with the Capiat. Right here it may be remembered that a metallic instrument can be rendered thoroughly aseptic much more readily and surely than the hand.
