Description:
Surgical technology students must memorize the names, characteristics, and purposes of hundreds of instruments used in general and specialty surgeries. The ability to differentiate instruments quickly and accurately can be a deciding factor in the success-or failure-of a procedure, yet there has been no book that presents, in one volume, the instruments students must memorize until now. Differentiating Surgical Instruments offers a close-up look at the tips of over 700 cutting, clamping, grasping, retracting, and other surgical instruments to help students clearly and effectively distinguish among them.
