Wrong “inventor” assigned

[edit]

The first medical use of cotton wool is attributed to Dr Sampson Gamgee here but I believe it is incorrect. He indeed did invent gamgee tissue but he was not the first to use the cotton wool material medically - it was Dr Ludwik Bierkowski who actually used it first for medical purposes. 2A02:A03F:69AA:6000:1498:72E2:892B:87B1 (talk) 14:43, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

what year was it invented? it says here that he used it at the hospita in birmingham but it does not say what year he first used it . 185.130.156.206 (talk) 12:07, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
