The regular French plural of 'écraseur,' formed by adding '-s' to the singular noun. This follows standard French pluralization for masculine nouns ending in '-eur.'

Kelly Says

Surgeons needed multiple versions of this tool for different sizes of growths and different parts of the body—hence the plural! Medical history is full of specialized instruments that look barbaric but were actually clever engineering solutions before anesthesia and antibiotics improved.
