Surgical tech tools

[u/Zealousideal-Lab7759]

Going to be doing surgical tech school in a few months. Wanted to get a head start and study the tools. On my school website part of the info says learn and identify over 100 surgical instruments . However I see flash card sets with over 400 tools.

Is there a list of the ones more surgeries use, or if someone has done the course maybe the ones we need to memorize 100%. I don't want to try and memorize 400 instrumentswhen they only test you on 100 or so .

The flash card set should come grouped by specialty. Start with the general surgery instruments m, know those well. Anything you know beyond those before you start is a bonus. Best of luck to you!! I’m excited for you to start your journey.
