5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful study guide, July 19, 2006
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much on the differentiation, but a good catalogue, November 3, 2006
The title led me to believe the book would go into depth regarding the subtleties in differentiating between instruments which are very much alike. Instead, the book acts as a good text for the surgical tech student who is still working on getting the basics under his belt. Instruments aren't really differentiated in the book so much as listed with pictures according to specialty. It's good as a general reference, but not for any detailed study.

5.0 out of 5 stars best visual aid, May 12, 2007
By mbaker (colorado) - See all my reviews
I bought a few books that deal w/ this subject when I got a new job as an OR nurse. this book is the best at allowing a person to study instrument recognition without having to have the actual instrument to refer to. I was able to go to work, scrub in, and w/ very few exceptions, know exactly what I was looking at.
