The story begins with the discoveries of Sir Joseph Lister, a noted English surgeon, who identified airborne germs as a source of infection in the operating room. He called them, with grim aptness, the "invisible assassins." Medical science was beginning to understand, however imperfectly, the need for greater care in protecting the wound area. Yet, this concept of myriad living organisms, unseen and deadly, remained beyond the grasp of many surgeons in the 19th century who were doubtful or even contemptuous of Lister's work.

Robert Wood Johnson
One man who did not question his theory of antisepsis was Robert Wood Johnson, who heard Lister speak in 1876. For years afterward Robert Wood Johnson nurtured the idea of a practical application of Lister's teachings. What he had in mind was a new type of surgical dressing, ready-made, sterile, wrapped and sealed in individual packages and suitable for instant use without the risk of contamination.

Prior to Lister's discoveries, the postoperative mortality rate was as high as 90 percent in some hospitals. Surgeons could not bring themselves to believe they were contaminating their own patients by operating ungloved with unsterile instruments.

Lister's methods required complex and cumbersome equipment suited only to the largest hospitals, of which there were few. A solution or a spray of carbolic acid bathed the operating room and the patient in a foggy mist. Still, it was a major advance over accepted procedures: unclean cotton, collected from sweepings on the floors of textile mills, was used for surgical dressings; surgeons operated in street clothes and wore a blood-spattered frock coat like a badge of honor.
