The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices

by Wendy on April 15th, 2006

Probably one of the more…interesting…sites that I’ve come across, the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices is a quirky collection of stuff that Oh my Word I’m Glad I Don’t Have To Worry About Anymore, like the foot-operated breast enlarger, the Recto-Rotor, and the shoe-fitting X-ray device.

The Relaxacisor was especially interesting; here’s a blurb from a press release:

“The Food and Drug Administration warned today that the sale of second-hand relaxacisors is illegal.
The warning stemmed from reports that owners of the electrical devices are attempting to dispose of them by offering them for sale in classified advertisements.
The devices provide electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. They were declared dangerous to health in a California court ruling last April against Relaxacisor, Inc., the distributor.”

Electric shocks? Sounds relaxing to me!
