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.

Surgical question.
Subject: Surgical question.
Okay here are the procedures...
1. Repair of FDP tendon.
2. Repair of one fascicle laceration of the ulnar digital nerve.
3. Repair of pulley tendon.
4. Radial digital neurolysis (indicated given the ulnar digital nerve partial laceration.)
5. Repair of A4 pulley.
I am then hearing in the narrative summary:
The tendon was repaired with a modified Kessler suture. This was somewhat compromised by the skiving cut angled distally with minimal tendon at the insertion for the repair. However, adequate tissue was apparently purchased.
Purchased is the word I am questioning??
