Surgical technology educators and students previously had no choice but to rely on textbooks written for OR nurses that often contained too little information on the role of the surgical technologist and not enough of the subtle observations and nuances that come from years in the field. Until now. Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist is the first text for surgical technology students and faculty that is precise, focused and helpful. Information is presented in a thorough and consistent manner that encourages student learning of both the information and the process. The writers' 50 years of expertise in the field give Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist a depth not found in other texts.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A book of information for the Surgical Technologist student,
By roselynnguerrier@hotmail.com (Fort Lauderdale,FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist:: A Positive Care Approach (Hardcover)
This book is full of information that is helpful. I am in my second term of taking a Surgical Technology course. We just start the real meat of the course... from patient position, drapes, and starting in a couple of weeks gi surgery. This book has it all and the instruments used in the major and minor tray. We have now the Alexander's which is good for the breakdown of different surgerical procedures but when it comes to the Surgical Tech's role there is not much. I'm glad that the AST has finally written a book. It will come handy now and throughout my career as a Surgical Tech. Kudos to AST...well done!

Great educational book,
By Melvin Gonzalez (Inwood, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist:: A Positive Care Approach (Hardcover)
I actually work in Central Sterile Processing. I found this book very useful with the information of surgical procedures, anotomy charts , surgical instruments. Plus it is very clear on its format, easy to understand and follow. This book will answer many questions that students going for surgical technology need or simple just like me, a person who works with surgical instruments on the daily basis.

Excellent Book,
By "shydefair1" (San Marcos, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist:: A Positive Care Approach (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book if you are a surgical technology student. I bought this book in addition to my required book for school becuase it was so much better than the required book. It is very descriptive and has lots of helpful pictures. The AST has done a wondeful job with this text book.
