About the Book

Differentiating Surgical Instruments, 4th Edition and Surg Tech in Practice work together to help you master the seemingly overwhelming number of surgical instruments. The quick reference, spiral-bound text offers a close-up look at more than 800 cutting, clamping, grasping, retracting, and other instruments, along with brief descriptions. The full-color photographs show both the complete instrument and its tip to help you learn to distinguish among them. Surg Tech in Practice is the online program that features recall and application activities to help you learn to identify key instruments and apply concepts to practice. An access code inside new, printed textbooks unlocks an eBook, as well as access to Surg Tech in Practice.

The best.“This book is GREAT!!! I took this book to work and my Director and Manager (both who were surgical techs) said this book was great.”—Online Reviewer

Best visual aid.“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.”—Online Reviewer
