Thread Catgut (2)

Ampoules, about 1953

Box with catgut threads of the Laboratoires BRUNEAU & Cie, 17 r. de Berri, Paris. Catgut N ° 4 "filière décimal N ° 8, stérilisé et assoupli" (1953).

The fact that catgut did not satisfy all surgeons' wishes was shown by the fact that Marion SIMS (1813-1883) from New York introduced the suture with silver wire, and Gustav SIMON (1824-1876), professor of surgery in Rostock and Heidelberg, who Suture with horse hair introduced - and even today, new suture material is invented.
