Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
OBS

There are other kinds of forceps holder, safety needle or safety pin: Bunt, Cheattle, Davis, Harrison, Mayo, Miltex, Pye-Smith, Rogge, Sauerbruck, Universal, etc.

OBS

Bunt’s holder for sterilizing forceps and scissors.

OBS

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.

The foundation for this [air conditioning] unit's toughness is our rugged base pan made from a rust-proof, composite material. Because it doesn’t rust, this high-tech base pan provides rust protection for the unit and, in the case of a rooftop installation, your roof. The base pan also features a sloped design with an integrated drain that minimizes standing water to reduce the potential for mold and bacteria growth.
