“Endoscopic carpal tunnel guided release system” refers to devices and techniques, associated with Dr. David M. Auerbach, that use endoscopic visualization through small incisions (often single-portal) with specialized tools,  to precisely cut the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) and decompress the median nerve, offering faster recovery than open surgery.

The “Swanson Elevator” in orthopedics refers to a specific design of surgical elevator, often used for small bone procedures (hand, wrist, foot, ankle), known for its angular shape that allows surgeons to go around bone for retraction and elevation.

A “Woods Retractor” in orthopedics is a precision surgical tool, often handheld, used for retracting soft tissues in smaller joints like the foot, ankle, wrist, and elbow, providing clear surgical exposure while minimizing trauma to delicate structures during procedures.
