Who was Gamgee? Joseph Sampson Gamgee (1828-1886) pioneered aseptic surgery and invented Gamgee Tissue (a material consisting of a think layer of absorbent cotton between two layers of absorbent gauze) whilst working as a surgeon at Queen’s Hospital, Birmingham. Gamgee Tissue was a major advancement in the prevention of surgical wound infection and is still the basis for many modern surgical dressings.
