Anyone have a good site listing cardiac catheters and sheaths? - Too many products!


Posted: Nov 17, 2010

It seems like every time I transcribe a cardiac cath report, there's yet another new sheath, catheter, introducer, etc., that I've never heard of.  Does anyone have a go-to website listing these?

Don't have a go-to website other than trying - sl

to Google what you hear. Your best bet is to invest in some reference books. Stedman's has Word Books for every speciality. Their Medical & Surgical Equipment Words is a fantastic one to get started with.

They list catheters under "catheters," sheaths under "sheath," etc.

There are so many different manufacturers it would be hard to find an all-inclusive site.

Does Anyone Know A Good Site With Cancer Tumor Marker Information?
Mar 26, 2010

I am starting to type quite a few cancer reports, and there are so many tumor markers for the various types of cancer. I probably should invest in a new Stedman's Oncology but don't have the extra $$ right now. Does anyone know a site that might help me figure these out? On web sites i've found, there doesn't seem to be much consistency in putting in hyphens (like CA25, CA 125, CA-125, etc.). ...
