We used a "glidewire and glide catheter." - hhh
Posted: May 25, 2015
should these be capped? Glidewire and Glide catheter, glidewire and glide catheter, or glidewire and Glide catheter?
I would say no in this case if it is dictated as "a" glide wire, etc. - But I have seen it capped as name brand. SM
