Hi,

I've added detail to the sentence outlining the findings from this paper, specifically:

• that this was a single-center study
• that the "excellent" correction was actually only achieved in 20% of patients in the study; and
• To quote the first paragraph of the paper's discussion section: "Vacuum bell therapy offers patients and families options for nonoperative treatment of pectus excavatum. It is important to inform them that this is not a substitute for the Nuss procedure which can achieve an excellent result in over 90% of patients with one operation and minimal complications in a vast majority of patients"

The additions replace a sentence which simply stated the paper found the vacuum bell to be "excellent," which by itself is not an accurate representation of what the paper says.

Happy to discuss. -- Euryalus (talk) 11:35, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For the sake of discussion: There are two possible images for this article - one which shows the device, and another which has been repeatedly edit-warred back into the page by User:Ardovello, which shows the device as well as the name of a private company. Neither image is superior in terms of actual photography, but there is no need for a promotional image where a neutral one is available. In my view the current image should be preserved (ie the one without a free advert for a private company).

Appreciate this discussion is also at ANI, but if we establish an image consensus here, that consensus will also last longer than this current dispute. -- Euryalus (talk) 12:07, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine for me, we should use an photo of an Eckart Klobe Vacuum Bell then, considering this is the only one with a FDA certification and proteted by a patent also, so both are not good

Also the user that uploaded that photo also iserted a link to his webstore where he sells his vacuum bell, that I removed, I only inserted a photo with a watermark to protect the intellectual propriety, there's no mention of the Brand in my photo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ardovello (talk • contribs) 21:56, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
