Discussion

John Jory Jan 20, 2008:
Regarding the 'curved' option: I believe the more likely term in German would be 'gerade' as opposed to 'ungekrümmt'.
John Jory Jan 19, 2008:
Is the needle connected to a wire? If so, it must be a consistent typo for 'gekrimpt'. As I was unable to find any instances of 'gekrimmt' in a suitable context (apart from hundreds of obvious typos), this is the most likely answer.
Edith Kelly Jan 19, 2008:
Admitted it is strange to have the same typo three times.
KenOldfield (asker) Jan 19, 2008:
gekrImmte Nadel In the text the term is "gekrimmte Nadel" not gekrümmte Nadel. It appears twice in the text and there is also a ref. to "ungekrimmte Nadel". Crimped needle?

s.u.

Could it mean "crimped", which is an often used technical term in English and translates into German as "gekrimt", "gefalzt", geboerdelt"?
Note from asker:
Re John's note: I confirm that the terms are actually spelt as follows: Gekrimmte Nadel/ungekrimmte Nadel. Gekrimmt occurs 3 times and ungekrimmt once. I am not sure whether the needle is connected to a wire. It is possible that gekrimmt may mean curved since these needles are available in straight and curved versions. I am going to get back to the client for clarification.
Peer comment(s):
agree John Jory : See my comment to asker. BTW, 'gekrimt' is also a typo. It should be 'gekrimpt'.

Thak you, John -- maybe now we are stepping in the right direction
agree Anne Schulz : agree mit genauso niedrigem CL wie meine Antwort, weil ich eigentlich nicht weiß, ob es stimmt - aber wenn schon zwei Doofe einen Gedanken haben, muss doch was dran sein ;-)

flanged

I think this is the past participle of 'krempen'.
Also, see the numerous google hits for 'flanged needle' in various applications.

Deutsch term (edited): Gekrimmt = gekrimpt (gecrimpt) ?

shrunken

"Krimpen" appears to be a technique for bringing a layer onto some surface. The term is used in connection with corrosion testing (but not needles) in the metek reference.

This is really just a guess to build on. I have never heard it in the context of needles.

Just happened to come across a reference where "gekrimpt" is used with stents (pretty close to needles ;-)) in the sense of shrunken. There it says,

"Die Stents werden durch Kathetertechniken und ähnliche Einführhilfen in das intrakorporale Gefäß im Bereich der Stenose eingebracht und dort abgesetzt, wobei das Stützgerüst von einem gekrimpten Einbauzustand in einen demgegenüber im Durchmesser vergrößerten Stützzustand aufweitbar ist. Dieser Aufweitvorgang kann selbsttätig bei sogenannten selbst expandierenden Stents erfolgen, er kann aber auch mit Hilfe eines geeigneten Werkzeugs, beispielsweise eines Ballonkatheters herbeigeführt werden."
