This book is so much more than a 'pocket' guide- I'm a Surg Tech student and I found this to be an excellent addition to my book collection on surg tech. Direct to the point - fast reference and a great review.
Includes: wounds, wound healing, suture, suture material, suture accessory devices, all materials used for hemostasis, surgical staples etc. Inclosed are needle conversion charts, needle sizes- and it's all at your finger tips.
I have only one complaint. The illistrations and charts are excellent, I just wish the paper quality was thicker- it's not too thin just it's a spiral bound book and thicker paper would make page turning easier.
Love this guide 5 stars!
