If I am looking for a catheter, instrument, etc., if the little "R" registered trademark is used, usually it is correct, because they don't go to the trouble to put the trademark if they aren't being reasonable conscientious about spelling it right.


HOWEVER....sometimes I get multiple results with the "R" and they're different. In that case, I try to find the site for the company that manufactures the item. It is usually listed on the first page of Google results.


A lot of the more well-known drugs have their own sites - like www.coumadin.com.
