FIRE PROOF BANDAGEs.
Asbestos Is Now Being Used by sur
EeOns.
From the New York Press


From the New York Press.
Asbestos has come into use as a surgical
dressing. Its softness to the touch ard
glistening, silky appearance commends it
as being unirritating to the skin and clean
ly. But the chief reason for it's use is its
indestructibility by fire. This quality
makes it possible to render asbestos sur
gical dressing absolutely free from germs
No other form of lint or cloth can thus
be sterilized.
Antiseptic surgery was introduced a 1T
tie after the death OF President Garfield
The original idea was to kill all the germs
and microbes in an operation wound by
means of strong disinfecting solutions
such as carbolic acid or bichloride OF mer.
curry. All operations were carried .on I'M
der a spray OF antiseptic solutions tin-
til the surgeons began to poison them
selves by too free use OF them.
Next the surgeons found that
boiled all their instruments and dressings
they could dispense with the spray and
many of the "antiseptlc precautions" The
ingenuity Of instrument makers and sur
geons was exhausted in devising new
forms of sterilizers. Roosevelt
hospital and other hospitals in
the city OF New York have
a great number OF devices for ster-
liking dressings with superheated steam
under a high pressure. Instruments arc
boiled in various solutions or baked IN
ovens.
The chief material used is purified
gauze. which has taken the place or
"lint." Immense quantities of II are used
every day In the large hospitals for
gauze dressing is never used twice. Ashes
tos dressings can be used over and ovet
again. for no germs can stand the heat
ing that asbestos can go through and each
time 1t becomes as good as new and an
solutely germ-proof.
1t will be chiefly useful for military sur
gerry The great problem of army surgeons
Is how to be perfectly antiseptic or asep-
tic, which means simply absolutely clean
in a surgical sense with the limited
means at their service. A
handful of asbestos can be ster-
ilized instantly in a soldiers camp fire.
Asbestos Is made from a mineral sun
stance. and consists Of fine crystalline
elastic fbers. II is quite cheap. A sim
gle fiber OF asbestos fuses 10 a white
enamal but In the match II is capable o.
resisting ordinary flame. The
ancients used II to wrap
around bodies TO preserve the
ashes Of the dead when on the funeral
pire. A workman In an English foundry
was accused OF witchcraft in the early
part Of the century for having a pair or
stockings which he cleansed In a furnace
instead Of a laundry.
