A First Handbook of Medical Instruments is literally a ?handbook? and ?first of its kind? in more ways than one. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the commonly used instruments including relevant content on the indications, contraindications, related procedures, and complications. It is expected to help not only medical undergraduates but also students of nursing, pharmacy, laboratory technology and junior postgraduates of general surgery, general medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, and ENT.
