Dominique Anel (c. 1679 – c. 1730), French surgeon, was born at Toulouse. Anel was a pupil of well-known French surgeons J. L. Petit (1674-1750) and Georges Mareschal (1658-1736).[1] After studying at Montpellier and Paris, he served as surgeon-major in the French army in Alsace; then after two years at Vienna he went to Italy and served in the Austrian army. In 1710 he was teaching surgery in Rouen, whence he went to Genoa, and in 1716 he was practising in Paris.[2]

In military, Anel’s job was to clean soldiers’ wounds at the battle fields. He invented a small suction syringe which was used to remove much of the dirt and infection. [3] This prevented the professional ‘suckers’ who followed the armies at that time to offer lip-service for money. [4] Anel’s syringe survived with modification for 250 years.[1] This became the forerunner of modern aspirator.[5] Based on this unique design, hypodermic syringes were ultimately improved.[6]
