Stedman's 3rd edition Ortho Word Book shows Hohmann retractor and Homan retractor...but no Holman listing. Stedman's Medical Equipment shows "Hohmann," "Holman lung" and a plain "Holman" listed under retractors...but no Homan (as found in Ortho). Logically, since Holman does not appear in the Ortho listings and Homan does not appear in the Equipment lisings, that leaves Hohmann....but also leaves one to wonder what the plain "Holman" retractor is in the Equipment book and why the Ortho book shows the "Homan". Still confused.
