I always spell abbreviations out such as this one that follows a vague number , i.e., few, several, many, etc. It just doesn't look right having the abbreviation in that sort of sentence to me. If you adhere to the BOS, it suggests spelling them out in this instance as well.

Subject: I would make just a few changes -

If you're asking whether the sentences look right, most of it looks okay to me, but at the very least, I'd suggest the following changes:

1. BioMed AGC anatomic femoral component, 60 mm, left.

2. BioMed all-poly patellar button, three-post, 34 mm diameter. (you might be able to expand all-polyethylene if okay with account specs).

3. Biomet DCN AGC molded tibial component, interlock finish, posterior stabilized, 12 mm thick x 65 mm wide.


Someone else may do it differently, but this is how I would type it.

BTW, did you mean BioMed on #3, or is it actually Biomet in this case?
