Three first aid kits (retail value of £38.95) to be given away to three lucky winners for this months competition

Joseph Sampson Gamgee (usually calling himself just Sampson Gamgee) was born in 1828. His friends included Joseph Lister and Louis Pasteur and Sampson became a champion of aseptic technique at an early stage of his career. By 1854 he had became a Fellow of the College of Surgeons in Edinburgh and was considered the expert in wound dressings - for both veterinary and human uses. It was thus quite natural that, when William Robinson of Chesterfield began his pioneering work on cotton wool, he contacted Dr Gamgee with ideas for wound dressings based on cotton wool. The outcome of the resultant collaboration was the first version of Gamgee Tissue wound dressings - layers of cotton wool and tissue sandwiched between two layers of sterile gauze. The dressing rapidly became extremely well regarded and the term 'Gamgee' is still used today as a colloquial term for high quality cotton wool. Horses injured on the battlefield were amongst the first to benefit from Sampson's pioneering work in wound care.

The Gamgee dressings available today are made from more modern materials but are still based on the principles of high absorbency and excellent cushioning specified by Dr Gamgee as anyone who uses Gamgee will know.
