This manual is excellent for beginners, due to its thoroughness and wonderful, close-up detailed photos of the tips of the instruments, where most of the differentiation occurs. Also features photos of similar instruments side-by-side, so size differences are more obvious. The only detraction was that some of the names used to identify the instruments were not familiar to me (I only know a Kocher by that name, which is not even given as an alternate name in this book). However, this is a minor, infrequently occurring problem. Overall, the most helpful manual I've found.
Instrumentation for the Operating Room Photographic Instrumentation manual. Although this manual is very well organized in instrument sets and procedures, the photographs are are unclear in instrument detail. These images should be on a white background and in sharper detail as this is crucial in identifying instruments.
This book is not useful to an individual starting out in OR trying to learn on their own. Very good pics but no explanation about equipment or how to use it. This would be for a more advanced individual.
The instruments are displayed and grouped by procedure. This is great for someone first starting in the O.R., but I was looking for instruments grouped by use or names. The pictures are ok. They show side and front views. This book was last updated in 2004. So some of the laparoscopy instruments have advanced.
As a student of Surgical Technology, I need to know all the instruments to hand to the surgeon and assistant. The book is good, but has one shortfall; the pictures are somewhat vague. I mean, that many instruments look alike. The photographs could've been taken to show the curve of many instruments or a macro lens could've been utilized. Still, it's the best book out that I know of to help you learn the instruments.
This book is not very useful it shows pictures, snd then you wait for it and to your suprise nothing. you're better off buying flash cards and the old edition of this book it's more useful.
Great book. Lots of pictures so you can really learn the instruments. The problem is that different hospitals and doctors, nurses, sterile processing departments, manufacturers and so on call instruments by different names so if you learn the names by only one source you'll be wrong somewhere down the line. It's just the way it is.
Love this book ! It was not required for my class but I was searching for a book that would help me with learning surgical instruments and this definitely did! The pictures of the instruments are better quality than the ones in my required textbook. Just after having this book for 2 weeks, my grades raised because I was able to better see the instruments and tell the differences between them. Definitely recommend for medical students!
