antiseptic

Any substance that kills or inhibits the growth of micro-organisms. The use of antiseptics was pioneered by Joseph Lister. He used carbolic acid (phenol), which is a weak antiseptic; antiseptics such as TCP are derived from this.

Lister's work was extended by surgeons such as William Cheyne, professor of surgery at Kings College Hospital, London, and author of Antiseptic Surgery (1882).
