What a freaky little tool! I seriously doubt it’s medical. The body of the cone is mounted midway with hard stainless steel leaving only a 1 to 1.5 inch over hanging on either end. Clearly not enough clearance to be a spreader.
It comes together and is spring loaded, so is designed to pop back open with a set force (the force “k” of the spring), and this set adjustment again says no to medical as the setting could be too hard for some tissue. Further, the design does not suggest pliers, tweezers or cutters due to the shape of the cone as it comes together.
It looks to be either a scoop or a mold. Perhaps an ice-cream scoop designed to scoop ice-cream in a perfect cone shape for dropping into you ice-cream cone?
Maybe a wax mold for candles?
Can’t be a lead mold. Lead gets too hot, and this whole tool is SS meaning the heat from the molten lead would travel up the handle and heat your hand. A lead working tool would have a much longer handle.
Seems to be a scoop for ice-scream where you drop the cone-shape goody down into the cone? Or perhaps a melon or fruit scooper where you turn it upside down and drop the cone shape melon fruit on top the plate with pointy end up? Or maybe a wax or soap molds? Or a chocolate mold?
I’ve got no idea, but I’m betting it has nothing to do with medicine…..unless it is designed to make soft wax-like suppositories for large farm animals?
