Abstract
In most veterinary practices an extraordinarily broad range of surgical procedures are performed and it may not be immediately obvious which instruments are needed to perform a procedure effectively and with as little trauma as possible. Veterinary surgeons, regardless of skill of experience, are all guilty, at some time or other, of knowingly using the wrong instrument for the wrong purpose. This chapter covers Scalpels; Scissors; Needle-holders; Thumb forceps; Haemostatic forceps; Tissue forceps; Suction tips; Towel clamps; Other instruments; Right- and left-handed instruments; and Suggestions for a basic surgical pack.
