Port-A-Cath - Crystal
Posted: Jan 12, 2012

My Stedman's says Port-a-Cath. I used that until ASR came along, which (on my accounts) types Port-A-Cath, and I don't edit it out (have enough to do in ASR). Have never gotten dinged for it.
I type it same as you - Port-A-Cath

I googled the phrase and found it, and was led to this site, but it is not here. Anybody have a clue on the (s/l trans sif ico)? ...
Sounds like "RBU 4 to 6-French guide catheter" or maybe "RBU4 6-French guide catheter"
