steristrips need to be capatilized? - thinking
Posted: Nov 09, 2010
I've seen it Steri-Strips, Steristrips, and steristrips so I'm not sure.
Steri-strips sm - lyn
[ In Reply To ..]Under its trademark name is listed as Steri-stripsâ„¢ Capital Steri-lower case strips
further looking - lyn
[ In Reply To ..]On looking further, it is also registered this way - Steri-Strips® is a registered trademark of 3M Healthcare Inc.
Steri-strips - INMT
[ In Reply To ..]I have been told this way..
Four Steri-Strips were placed..that is right.
but was told that if "the wound is steri-stripped,, no caps..
not sure if that is correct but that is what I do
Steri-Strips - terrystone
[ In Reply To ..]I've always capitalized both S's.

Cap both with a hyphen .. Steri-Srips - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I use this rarely and every time it came up I would have to try and remember, or look up, AGAIN, what it was supposed to be, so I made it an Auto Correct entry so it is typed the same way every time.
And if I can't remember what my Auto Correct code was, since it is already in the list, I can scroll through and find it.
I do this with any odd and/or rarely used term that I have had to spend time looking up or researching or asking about and finally got it .. so I never have to chase it down again.
really good idea - sm
[ In Reply To ..]It's a great way to use AutoCorrect, and it works really well.
