The Surgical Instrumentation app is a great resource for learning about instruments that are used in the operating room setting. It can be a powerful reference tool for professionals such as Doctors, Circulating Nurses, Surgical Technologists, Central Service Technicians and Students.
The app now features over 371 instruments (and growing) with photos, details and the purpose of the instrument. The application will help you identify instruments visually and by the name.
Using Pinch to Zoom will allow you to see more detail of said instrument. This will allow for better identification.
To make finding the instrument quick utilize the search function at the top of the application. Search by instrument "Type", "Name", and "Keyword".
Since there are so many instruments available that have multiple uses, we have now made it to where you can sort them into their main categories of uses.
Just select the "Specialty" tab and type one of the following:
Accessories
Cardiothoracic
Dermal & Podiatry
Ent, Sinus & Plastic
General
Laparascopic
Neuro & Ortho
OB & GYN
Opthalmology
Urology & Rectal
Surgical Instrumentation features a great section that explains the process on how instruments are processed the moment they enter the decontamination room of a hospital or similar facility.
When you are done take some time to test your knowledge with four (Instrument Match, Multiple Choice, Right, Wrong and more) included quiz games which could help you with the CRCST or CIS exams.
Now try and guess the correct name with no time limit with the "Flash Card" mode.
Help boost your memory with the The Surgical Instrumentation matching game, which lets you pick the correct name with the shown instrument.
**There are no "In-App Purchases", so all Instruments and quizzes are fully available.**
Optimized for iPhone, iPad compatible.
