Learning Surgical Instruments Paperback – June 16, 2009

As described

If your needing a way to identify and memorize names of surgical tools this is by far the best source out there. Buy this book !

I feel like this book was created by people that lack knowledge of working or training medical instrumentation. The small pictures of instrument with few words about it’s use only take up half the page, the other is blank spaces. The pictures are not at all detailed so you can’t really tell one hemostat, forcep, or retractor from the other useless you already know them. If you are trying to learn instruments, you would do better keeping your money and googling pictures.

Very, very basic. Not exactly what I was looking for, but well done.

i like this book it give in more detail information i thank you rod castillo

Good for a refresher.

Best part about this book - VERY clear pictures, with excellent close ups of the tips and jaws of the instruments - the best I have seen (I do have several surgical instrument books). I would recommend this book only to the beginner though (but that's not a negative). Getting the basics down is a great start, this book does it best. Not a lot of "text-clutter", just the name of the instrument, alias if any, the general use, and any additional info. The only thing better than this book would be to hold the instruments in your hands. Good for beginning Sterile Processing, Surgical Technology, or Peri-Operative Nursing.

This book is actually better than the book furnished by the university I am currently attending.
