SA Novotelnov (Military-sanitary affairs, 1933, No. 2-3) sets out the history of the use of sphagnum in surgery and reminds of his excellent suction abilities. Due to the richness of our country in peat bogs, on which soft fluffy sphagnum grows, the latter is especially suitable in wartime, when a huge amount of suction and lining material is required to treat wounds and at the same time there is a shortage of dressings.
