So we commonly read about different types of arrow heads and stuff, their penetration power and such and the agonizing pain they could cause. What is less well known is that many arrowheads were only lightly attached to the shaft, like beeswax, such that once inside the body, the wax melts and the head falls off or detaches once it is yanked out.
Removing the head could be difficult.
Al-Zahwari, an arabic surgeon developed a spoon type instrument to dig into the wound and pull the arrow out.
