Kodak Eastman #910

The first time I used them was in the very early 1970s. They were quickly removed from the acceptable list of medical treatments because of the possibility of inhalation and gluing lung tissue. But this glue is everywhere and has changed many products. It also is funny that the inventor had to wait 68 years for government recognition. It reminds me of Ruska who in about 1930 started working on his invention the Electron Microscope (one of the most important inventions of the last century). He perfected it during his years as a scientist with the Third Reich. Finally, the Nobel Prize committee gave up on its PC stance and gave him the prize in 1986.

But Kodak blew that one.
