Review: Must buy - Excellent for nursing and medical students in a theatre background. Has all the different procedures and instruments used and what they are used for
Review: Very helpful. - I am a first year ODP student and this book is very helpful. It concentrates on each specific instrument and their function more so than what you get in each set, but has really helped my knowledge. I like that it overlaps so in each section there are instruments that have already been covered but because a lot of instruments overlap and work within different surgeries it perfectly highlights this.
