Surgical instruments
When the tool does not exist.
Why an instrument gets a name
An instrument carries a surgeon’s name when it was made to do something the existing one did not. It is the same pattern as a technique: a problem in the operating room, an inadequate answer, and a decision to build a better one.
Both instruments below are listed in the StaySharp SuperCut catalog of Accurate Surgical & Scientific Instruments (ASSI), with their own catalog numbers. They are manufactured products of record, not prototypes, and the catalog listing is the evidence.
