Surgical Equipment and Supplies

"Each chapter describes different categories of equipment or supplies in detail and helps differentiate between similar supplies (e.g., types of suture). In some cases, the equipment and supplies require less narration; on those pages you will find pictures of the item and a short description that includes its use. The operating room is an exciting and dynamic foreign land, full of joy and some sorrow but most of all a wonderful opportunity to learn and make a difference for patients. It is my hope that you find this book a valuable aid in navigating the world of surgery"--
