Description

The only way to become familiar with the names and uses of veterinary instruments is by repeatedly viewing them - the kind of hands-on proficiency that simple textbook descriptions can't provide! Veterinary Instruments and Equipment: A Pocket Guide is an innovative resource designed to help students master veterinary instrument identification, as well as being a helpful aid when taking instrument inventory in the veterinary office. This flip-book method helps readers memorize and quickly identify instruments at a glance, with a photograph or illustration of the instrument on the top page, and a full description of the instrument on the bottom page - including its name, function, and key characteristics. The picture of each instrument makes an ideal flashcard that readers can use to quiz themselves or others.More than 320 high-quality, full-color illustrations.For many instruments, a full photo is presented along with close-ups of the working end(s) of the instrument to help facilitate accurate instrument identification, especially in similar looking instruments.Two pages for each instrument: a picture of the instrument on the top page with the instrument's name, functions, and characteristics on the bottom page allows students to view both pages at the same time to learn about the instrument.Covers instruments and equipment for small and large animals and all common procedures.Includes chapters devoted to general veterinary surgical instruments to educate technicians who assist in special procedures and for veterinary students who will perform the specialty surgeries.Each instrument description consistently uses the same three categories: name, function, and characteristics to make study and memorization easier.Covers restraint equipment for all species of large and small animals.Flashcard format helps students to learn and retain information.Handy pocket size makes it convenient to carry and use at any time.Spiral binding allows the book to lay flat or fold over to make visible just the instrument, just its description, or both.

    • Fills a gap left by other books
Format: Spiral-bound
I'd recommend this to anyone new to working as an assistant or in tech school. It's the only resource I've seen that clearly identifies (includes crisp, close-up photos for every item) and clearly explains what tons of veterinary instruments & other tools are for. * It is EXACT. At our clinic we all had trouble identifying the exact difference between brown adson, plain adson, blah blah forceps and though we looked online, in instrument catalogs, etc.--this is the only place I found definitive answers. * I love that there is a description of what each item is actually used for. It adds another layer of understanding of my job and helps me select the right tool for a given task. Also helps me anticipate what tools the doctor is going to need whether he's removing a small mass from an eyelid or spreading someone's ribs open. * It is useful in learning the items you don't use often enough to know. We have any number of old weird-looking tools in our clinic left by the previous owner that we use on rare occasions but it's hard to know what half of them are called, let alone what they're for. Now when the doctor calls for something obscure I might actually be able to go get it! *It exposes you to tools outside your immediate area of practice--if you mostly know small animal stuff this book shows you food animal and equine tools so you have a clue. Horn gouge, teat dilator, radiographic hoof positioner, you name it. I even learned that the old shepherd's crook you see in cartoons is a real tool "to separate and capture sheep"--and, in a very rudimentary way, how it works. *Some of the tools seem too basic to bother including, but I've learned a little new info even on some of those. For example, I didn't know there's a special kind of nail clipper for those overgrown curlicue toenails that are so hard to cut--and we even have it in our clinic, but didn't know what it was. *It's organized in 23 chapters by logical categories such as instruments for administering medicine, dental instruments, orthopedic instruments, instruments used for hoof care, instruments for animal identification, and instruments used for pigs, sheep, and goats. * It includes a comprehensive index so you can search for a tool by name. * It includes a section on proper care of surgical instruments. * I love the format--spiral bound with index-card size pages, and the cover even has a fold-over flap to help protect the pages. Bottom line--really useful book idea, well-executed! ... show more

    • Useful
Format: Spiral-bound
There is already pressure in schools to try and remember everything, let alone all the Metzenbaum instruments, but this is like a cheat book of sorts. It's easy to use, very helpful and every Vet/medical student should have one. Even if your field isn't surgery, it's helpful in case you have to put together a surgical packet or are involved in surgery because it can act as a refresher course. It's a wonderful little book to have. It is a little small, and truthfully I've lost it once or twice, but now it is with the rest of my Vet Tech books/items. Handy and useful. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • Got me a 100% on a Instrument Test in Vet Tech School!
Format: Spiral-bound
I had to use one instrument book for Vet Tech School and this fulfilled that need. We had an identification and purpose test for a wide variety of instruments and this book prepared me appropriately for that test which I scored a 100 on. This is a great book that has a useful purpose in the life of an aspiring vet tech. Knowing the tools used in surgery and surgical prep is vital to providing proper patient care. I highly recommend this book. ... show more

I'm a 2nd year Vet Tech student getting ready to take a Surgery class & I was really worried about all the instruments I'm going to have to know.....I bought this book & spent quite a while going through each page as soon as it arrived. It has very detailed pictures of every instrument that is used in a veterinary practice, along with it's proper name & explanations of it's use. I am very happy I bought this book & am sure it will come in handy during my class & beyond..... ... show more

This came in very handy for me. I am in the Veterinary Technology program at school and just the thought of learning all the instruments was already stressful enough. My teacher recommended getting this and she was right! it came in super handy!

    • Great price!
Great price for a brand new book! This book was still wrapped in plastic when I received it! This book contains great pictures of all your needed veterinary equipment, and breaks it down into chapters of tools that relate to one another.

    • A must have
An excellent learning tool for any of the stuff at the clinic involved! If you ever need to reference an instrument that you never seen before, it's in this pocket guide.
