OBS

[La] pince de DeBakey [...] est la pince d'usage général. Elle permet de manipuler les tissus sans les traumatiser tout en réduisant le glissement des mors sur leur surface. Il en existe de toutes les longueurs et de diverses épaisseurs. Elle permet de suturer confortablemnt avec des fils de 2/0 à 6/0.

OBS

Avec l'usage, il arrive que le nom de l'inventeur ne soit plus utilisé comme complément de nom, mais soit mis en apposition et se comporte, dès lors, comme un adjectif de relation. On parlera alors de «pince DeBakey» et non plus de «pince de DeBakey». De plus, on trouve de multiples graphies pour le patronyme DeBakey : Debakey; DeBakey; De Bakey.
