Medical instruments frequently bear the name of their inventor. We didn’t find any important surgeon bearing the name "Bunt". But we found two important surgeons bearing the name "Bunts". We know that in medical eponyms, the possessive form, such as "Bunts’ forceps", often disappears over the years. In this specific case, it seems that the ending "s" of the patronym disappeared and the written forms "Bunt" and "Bunt's"remained. Frank E. Bunts, first president of the Academy of Medicine in Cleveland and one of four co-founders of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and his son Alexander T. Bunts, specilaized in neurosurgery. 6, record 3, English, - Bunt%20forceps%20holder
