Invention Dates

Appointed Professor
of Surgery at Glasgow University in 1860 and, from 1869, in Edinburgh, Lister
was interested in finding a way of avoiding the commonly experienced infections
in wounds. Inspired by Louis Pasteur's work he sought out a chemical that would
destroy microbes. A solution of phenol, also known as carbolic acid, was
already used to deodorize sewage. He found it could prevent gangrene developing
in wounds. Lister developed a procedure for disinfecting instruments and bodies
by spraying phenol on them. Dependent upon killing bacteria rather than
preventing them, this method is known as 'antiseptic' surgery.

Lister became widely
hailed as the British Pasteur. In 1899 a new British Institute for Preventive
Medicine was named the 'Lister Institute' in his honors. He served as President
of the Royal Society from 1895 to 1900.

1864 - Lister applied
for the professorship of systematic surgery in Edinburgh and is denied, Learns
of Pasteur's work on the germ theory.
