English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
OBS

In medical eponyms, the possessive form, such as "Trousseau's tracheal dilator", often disappears over the years. For that reason, the written form "Trousseau tracheal dilator" is also found.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
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 «dilatateur trachéal Trousseau» et non plus de «dilatateur trachéal de Trousseau».
