Phillips, Nancymarie Fortunato. (Author).

Summary: "This text is designed for perioperative personnel in all surgical disciplines. Surgeons, nurses, technologists, and technicians will find the design and collections in this book informative and user friendly. Books about surgical instrumentation have been in print for more than 100 years. However, none have offered comprehensive collections of instruments used with foundation sets for multiple specialties. The feature individual instruments without providing guidance for establishing or streamlining the set creation process."--Preface.
