Record 1 2008-07-29

English

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.

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

Either the area close to the left sideline or the area close to the right sideline of a tennis court. Sometimes used to refer to the side from which a stroke is initiated, as in the phrase, "he is steady on both wings", i.e. he is consistent on both the backhand and on the forehand sides.

OBS

Warning: the term "side" is both generic and ambiguous in tennis. Depending on the perspective of the person using the term, it can either mean the area to the left or right of him, or the area on the other side of the net (=end). To avoid ambiguity, qualify the term "side" (the opposing side = el campo de su adversario) or use the term "wing", depending on the circumstance. Compare with "end".
