Surgery
Surgery (from the Greek: χειρουργική cheirourgikē (composed of χείρ, "hand", and ἔργον, "work"), via Latin: chirurgiae, meaning "hand work") is an ancient medical specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques on a patient to investigate and/or treat a pathological condition such as disease or injury, to help improve bodily function or appearance or to repair unwanted ruptured areas (for example, a perforated ear drum).
An act of performing surgery may be called a surgical procedure, operation, or simply surgery. In this context, the verb operate means to perform surgery. The adjective surgical means pertaining to surgery; e.g. surgical instruments or surgical nurse. The patient or subject on which the surgery is performed can be a person or an animal. A surgeon is a person who practices surgery and a surgeon's assistant is a person who practices surgical assistance. A surgical team is made up of surgeon, surgeon's assistant, anesthesia provider, circulating nurse and surgical technologist. Surgery usually spans minutes to hours, but it is typically not an ongoing or periodic type of treatment. The term surgery can also refer to the place where surgery is performed, or simply the office of a physician, dentist, or veterinarian.
Polytetrafluoroethylene
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. The best known brand name of PTFE-based formulas is Teflon by DuPont Co., which discovered the compound.
PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water nor water-containing substances wet PTFE, as fluorocarbons demonstrate mitigated London dispersion forces due to the high electronegativity of fluorine. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid.
PTFE is used as a non-stick coating for pans and other cookware. It is very non-reactive, partly because of the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds, and so it is often used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals. Where used as a lubricant, PTFE reduces friction, wear and energy consumption of machinery. It is commonly used as a graft material in surgical interventions. Also, it's frequently employed as coating on catheters; this interferes with the ability of bacteria and other infectious agents to adhere to catheters and cause hospital-acquired infections.
Teflon (song)
"Teflon" is the third single from Slightly Odway, the debut album from Australian alternative rock band, Jebediah. It was written by band members, Chris Daymond, Kevin Mitchell, Vanessa Thornton and Brett Mitchell. It was recorded in April 1997 at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne and produced by Neill King. "Teflon" was officially released on 23 March 1998, peaking at number 41 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. It polled at number 42 in the Triple J Hottest 100 music poll for 1998.
Single version
The CD single version of "Teflon" features four bonus non-album tracks, including a new one, "You"; a remix of the title track by The Cooling Brothers, aka Ku-Ling Brothers (Steven Mallinder—ex–Cabaret Volataire—and Shane Norton), which was recorded at Revolver Studios in Perth and produced by Laurie Singara; together with acoustic versions of both "Tracksuit" and "Jerks of Attention" recorded live by RTRFM on the radio station's breakfast programme, The Cornflakes.
The single release version was slightly remixed from the album version (consisting of a quieter "rap" section). The 7" vinyl release only featured the Cooling Brothers Remix of the song as its A-side, whilst the B-side was a Non-Stick mix of the song. In October 1998 Jedediah performed "Teflon" at the ARIA Music Awards ceremony. A live version recorded in London was issued on a bonus disc of an extended version of their fifth studio album, Kosciuszko, in April 2011.
Teflon (nickname)
Teflon is a nickname given to persons, particularly in politics, to whom criticism does not seem to stick. The term comes from Teflon, the brand name by DuPont of a "non-stick" chemical used on cookware.
