In practice many English-language instrument catalogues interchange the terms "raspatory", "rugine" and "periosteal elevator" haphazardly, though "rugine" tends to be reserved for instruments of French design. ... Indeed, the French for "raspatory" is "rugine"; and to clarify English usage, either one term or the other should be discarded. 7, record 1, English, - Cobb%20spinal%20elevator

À la rugine de Cobb, on désinsère le ligament jaune de la lame. Ce geste n’ est pas dangereux si l'on prend garde à : Tenir la rugine de Cobb à deux mains, pour obtenir le bon geste; Exercer une manœuvre de levier pour plaquer la rugine de Cobb sur la face profonde de la lame. [...] Effectuer des petits mouvements de rotation droite gauche pour décoller le ligament progressivement et ne pas passer brutalement dans le canal. 3, record 1, French, - rugine%20de%20Cobb

En plus de l'aiguille et du cathéter, le plateau pour APD [anesthésie péridurale] comprend divers matériels stériles, dont la composition est déterminée en fonction des habitudes de chaque équipe [...] L'aiguille de Tuhohy, prévue à l'origine pour la rachianesthésie continue, reste la plus utilisée [...] L'aiguille de Crawford possède un biseau droit qui facilite la traversée du ligament jaune. L'aiguille de Cheng est dotée d’un bout arrondi qui diminue les risques de perforation dure-mérienne, mais augmente considérablement les difficultés d’introduction. 1, record 2, French, - aiguille%20de%20Crawford
