Talk:Sonicaid

message: While I agree with the merger of fetal stethoscope to stethoscope I don't think this one should be merged there.

message: Sonicaid is the name of the company which established the "sonicaid" brand (some original sonicaid products are still to be seen in maternity hospitals, for example batteries are still available). The brand has since been owned by other companies. The word "sonicaid" is in common use to refer to handheld dopplers (the hoover or biro of obstetric ultrasound). Hence this article describes the company, the products, the brand and the word.
In creating this page I've found evidence for most of the facts but not for the RTS5200 real time scanner - this information comes from my own knowledge having worked as a service engineer for that product (I still have the paper manual). I'm not sure how to provide evidence for that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dder (talk • contribs) 07:58, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

W.S.Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence, Chapter 50:
"Well, do you remember Abraham? He was the man who had the future. When we were students he beat me all along the line. He got the prizes and the scholarships that I went in for. I always played second fiddle to him. If he'd kept on he'd be in the position I'm in now. That man had a genius for surgery. No one had a look in with him. When he was appointed Registrar at Thomas's I hadn't a chance of getting on the staff. I should have had to become a G.P., and you know what likelihood there is for a G.P. ever to get out of the common rut. But Abraham fell out, and I got the job. That gave me my opportunity."

message: "A trocar ... is a medical device that is made up of an obturator (which may be a metal or plastic sharpened or non-bladed tip), a cannula (basically a hollow tube), and a seal"
Well obturator links to "(surgery) An object used to obstruct a hole, such as a fissure of the palate.".
So a trocar is defined as 'a seal (which may be sharpened metal or plastic), a tube and a seal', which makes little sense.
My best guess is that by obturator, what is meant is a seal that can be opened (but then the seal on the other end must be openable) once the sharp part has penetrated the skin (or whatever).
