Differentiating Surgical Instruments
by COLLEEN RUTHERFORD
from F. A. Davis Company
Surgical technology students must memorize the names, characteristics, and purposes of hundreds of instruments used in general and specialty surgeries. The ability to differentiate instruments quickly and accurately can be a deciding factor in the success-or failure-of a procedure, yet there has been no book that presents, in one volume, the instruments students must memorize until now. Differentiating Surgical Instruments offers a close-up look at the tips of over 700 cutting, clamping, grasping, retracting, and other surgical instruments to help students clearly and effectively distinguish among them.

Medical Instrumentation: Application and Design
from Wiley
This well-established text describes the principles, applications and design of the medical instrumentation most commonly used in hospitals. Because equipment changes with time, the authors stress fundamental principles of operation and general types of equipment. They avoid detailed descriptions and photographs of specific models. Design principles are emphasized so that a scientist with only some background in electronics can gain enough information to design instruments that may not be commercially available. Since biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field, the authors have provided varied healthcare industry applications for each type of instrument.
