Crin de Florence - Suture thread - Catgut
Natural suture thread for surgery or drainage obtained from the caterpillar of the Bombyx mori butterfly.
Crin de Florence was obtained by stretching the sericogenic apparatus of the Bombyx mori butterfly caterpillar, which was first killed by soaking it in vinegar.
This thread was also used for fishing line, to which the hook is attached.
(Source Dr Paul Dorveaux: Historique du Crin de Florence - 1909)
Natural Crin de Florence began to be replaced by synthetic thread after the Second World War, mainly due to the degeneration of silkworms, which no longer produced the coarse threads preferred by surgeons.

Signaling to the pharmacist that it is imperative to keep apart the other substances in the cabinet of toxic substances, the famous poison cabinet.
It comes from an old cellar-laboratory in a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not moved since the late 1950s on the shelves. The cellar had served as a laboratory for medical analyses and a laboratory for magistral preparations of the pharmacy from 1900 until around 1950.
