Surgical equipment site - Cheryl H


Posted: May 17, 2011

Does anyone have a good site for surgical equipment and devices.  I'm looking for a suspension gallows that s/l zytel.  The line is ' the patient was placed in suspension using a s/l zytel gallows'.  Anybody got any ideas?  I'm still a student and prepping for my final so that site would be useful.

I googled surgical equipment suspension gallows. - Olive

The second result down is Zeitels which you can then take further to research if that is correct. I'm from the book generation. I always use the Stedman's Surgical Equipment Book first. They did all the research.

why do they keep gouging us for this crap even though it should be painfully obvious to anyone with half a brain that your average MT has hardly any money for it? Amphion had told me that my workstation was not up to snuff, and after they specified what I needed, they told me *where to buy it*. I ended up sinking almost 300 bucks into it. Then, after working there for a couple weeks, they micromanaged me intensely, and after a performance review where I missed the mark by probably about a fra ...
