Your reference is British. Note the spellings of centre, etc. Check Vera Pyle's book and Dorland's Medical Dictionary and also the American Medical Association reference for making nouns out of proper names. Our own BOS states not to capitalize words derived from eponyms.

If you don't have Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words book you should get it. This book is amazing. Pretty much any piece of medical/surgical equipment is in there. It is worth its weight in gold. If your company doesn't offer discounted books, you can purchase it a Amazon.com either new or used, and they have great used book. I bought my entire collection of Stedman's words book used. All of them are in at least good condition.

While I realize it is the OP's responsibility to doublecheck whatever answers received here, and it's fine to be lazy in any other posts on the board, but IMO, it's still a good idea to give correct answers -- spelling, capitalization, and all -- when providing word help. Otherwise, if the OP is also "lazy" it will end up in a medical record the wrong way. Not major in this case, but could be in others ...

Just my opinion, of course.

dictionary before using it. Decubitus is an adjective - it describes the type of ulcer, or type of position. I don't think you can make an adjective in the plural form.

If you google "decubiti plural", you'll see a list of medical books that quote it to be an incorrect form.

I think it's just one of those things that so many people have accepted it in that form that they think it's correct, when it really isn't.
