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 pourra donc trouver tant «écarteur à poumon Allison» qu'«écarteur à poumon d'Allison». Dans les textes scientifiques, on retrouve tant «écarteur à poumon» qu'«écarteur à poumons».
