Home > Joseph Sampson Gamgee

 
Dr Joseph Sampson Gamgee (born 17 April, 1828, Livorno, Italy; died 18 September, 1886) was a surgeon at the Queen's Hospital (later the General Hospital) in Birmingham, England. He pioneered aseptic surgery (having once shared lodgings with Joseph Lister), and, in 1880 invented Gamgee Tissue , an absorbent cotton wool and gauze surgical dressing .

He gave his name (indirectly, via the tissue) to the hobbit Sam Gamgee in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
