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.

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 is a very comprehensive book and is put in perfert catagories for the beginniner to expert.

Its adequate to check out which instruments are in each o.r. tray. There aren't any close up pictures but I don't need them.
