Asepsis secundum artem : the practical application of the art of asepsis to the preparation of surgical dressings . y, the strength, or in some way marring the integrity ofthe material. Experience has proved that soaking the ligatures inantiseptic oils s insufficient, as is the treatment with chromic andcarbolic acid. Treatment with corrosive sub-limate and other strong antiseptics renders thestrings brittle. Treatment with formalin has likewise beenfound useless. The method of boiling in alcoholunder pressure has been found impractical, asthe temperature, 148, is not destructive to bac-teria, and a higher temperature under this processis ruinous to the material. Steam and boilingv/ater are inapplicable ; dry heat is destruc-tive to elasticity and firmness. As the resultof many years of continuous study, wehave devised a series of processes thathave been proved effectual for sterili-zation of the gut, as well as to excludeevery possible source of contamina-tion by handling. These processesare substantially as follows :— 1. Exterior cleansing of the liga-tures by scrubbing. 2. Removal of 13 EXTRACTION OF LIGATURES WITH SOLVENTS.
