but here is this:

CTS Relief Kit®


Provides the surgeon with a set of simple to use, disposable instruments for endoscopic release of the transverse carpal ligament through a single portal.
Endoscopic technque reduces post-operative pain and recovery time for the patient.
Allows the surgeon to resect the ligament under direct visualization through a standard 4mm arthroscope.
"D"-shaped, slotted cannula helps to shield adjacent neurovascular structures from potential damage.
Pen-like knife handle improves the surgeon’s tactile feel and control of the instrument while cutting.


so perhaps a *cannula*? just a thought.

One way to verify findings on Google sm
Subject: One way to verify findings on Google sm

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.

Patient in with a burn has a "Vaseline Adaptic baseball wrap" applied to his hand?

Vaseline dressing I know. Adaptic dressing I know. Baseball wrap/dressing I cannot seem to find or verify anywhere.

Also, I can't find all three of them together anywhere either. (nor just Vaseline and Adaptic together- and since Adaptic looks to also be petroleum jelly like Vaseline I don't quite get it- but I'm willing to buy it.)
