Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Ok folks, since I couldn't find anything on MTDesk (which totally amazed me), I did a Google search, hoping to find an actual manufacturer's site, and lo and behold, I found two. Bookwalter is a brand name. Here are the addresses and it even shows pictures: http://www.allegiance.net/literate/urr/urr.htm and http://www.adeptmed.com/retractor.html I'm guessing that perhaps there was a " Buchwalter " retractor and the company went out of business, or maybe it was like that whole Verres/Veress fiasco, and it was finally decided that Veress was correct. <shrugging> Who knows? If you do a search on Google for Buchwalter retractor, you only get a few hits, but a search for Bookwalter retractor yields many hits. Very very interesting.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Thank you for researching this, Jan! I need to ask CS how they want us to spell it if it's on the final. I'll make a note in my word list that Bookwalter is probably the correct name or at least it can be spelled two ways. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rennie - Student Member of AAMT 46/Texas/nulligravida Career Step Student www.careerstep.com Current Specialty: Studying Applied Medical Terminology - General Surgery ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- > Ok folks, since I couldn't find anything on MTDesk (which totally amazed me), > I did a Google search, hoping to find an actual manufacturer's site, and lo > and behold, I found two.
