I spent quite some time going through 23 surgery
manuals and several manuals on physicke, and I
still have not found anything other than a
description of the bladder-bag.  Something so
common and "personal" may not have been in
picture, but perhaps my inquiries to the
Smithsonian will produce something.

I did find a picture of the suppository tool.  It
looks like the old style child's top, a flat disk
with a hollow wooden dowel through the center.  I
assume it also had a plunger to push the
suppository through the hollow dowel once the
device was inserted in the "foundament".  I can
only guess, but my guess is that the disk was
attached to keep someone from inserting the device
too far up the "foundament".  Suppositories were
herb mixtures coated in greases and fats so they
would slide easily, and one would hope that the
device was also lubricated before insertion.  :-)

I am only guessing again, but perhaps the bladder
also had a wooden disk attached, similar to the
picture in the Voynich, to keep one from inserting
the tip of the bladder too far.
