Differentiating Surgical Instruments / Edition 3

by Colleen J. Rutherford RN, MSN

Overview

Differentiating Surgical Instruments, 3rd Edition and Surg Tech in Practice  work together to help you master the seemingly overwhelming number of surgical instruments. This quick reference, spiral-bound text offers a close-up look at more than 800 cutting, clamping, grasping, retracting, and other instruments, along with brief descriptions. The full-color photographs show both the complete instrument and its tip to help you learn to distinguish among them. Surg Tech in Practice offers a wealth of online activities that make learning easier. 

Very helpful study guide. “Of the several books I own on surgical instrumentation, this one has the most clear and useful pictures of the instruments. The spiral binding is student-friendly and the info on each picture is a helpful study guide. I would recommend this book to anyone trying to learn their instruments.”—Amazon Reviewer

Awesome book, a must read for all surgeons or surgeon techs and nurses. “Great book. There's pictures and descriptions on what it's used for.”—Amazon Reviewer

Was such a helpful book! Helped me learn 200+ ... “instruments in 2 months for my surgical tech class!”—Kate H., Amazon Reviewer
