These same tubes are in use today. For shorthand when we were drawing blood and needed another tube like this we called them "gunk". The tube is a vacuum. If you draw the patient's blood with a syringe and then insert the syringe needle into the tube it will suck out the exact amount of blood needed for this tube. When the blood is drawn directly from the arm into the tube the vacuum limits the amount of blood that goes into the tube. Pretty ingenious when you think about it.

I seem to remember from nursing school that to be called a tincture it had to contain alcohol ETOH. I think you nailed the use of the black metal item. Interesting finds in these rooms.

Free spirit, as a nurse I am familiar with the medical use of the term douche. But post a Google search I can tell you that it also means a shower of water. An additional definition is an obnoxious or contemptible person. I have a feeling the 4 douche rooms had showers in addition to the tub.
