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.

Neurosurg help, "Sa-FEE-sa" valve
Subject: Neurosurg help, "Sa-FEE-sa" valve

Procedure is:

ENDOSCOPIC BIOPSY OF THIRD VENTRICULAR TUMOR WITH FENESTRATION OF SEPTUM PELLUCIDUM AND CREATION OF A VENTRICULOPERITONEAL SHUNT.

SSentence:

A 0020 shunt assist and a _____ valve set to 110 was secured with 2-0 Ethibond sutures, and then it was brought down into the subgaleal compartment.

Not sure about the proper representation of "0020" shunt assist, either.

Same procedure:

The "Me-TOCK-a" holder was used, and then the first thing we did was make a curvilinear right frontal scalp incision with the midportion of the skin incision at the midline and the trajectory of the skin incision such that it could be extended to do a right frontoparietal craniotomy should this have to be done in the future.

Have checked Stedman's Med/Surg words, Neurosurg words, Google using wildcards, framing words, etc., cannot work my way to these. Thank you for any help.
