Mr. Sowers, thank you for every single lecture you have posted for ST's. Today, with your help, on my 1st attempt, I passed my exam. I've graduated as a CST. Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without your lectures and detailed illustrations. Thank you!
I didn't find the program hard, but the amount you need to know/memorize seems very overwhelming. To help me study and pass the exam I am looking into a position at my local hospital for an un-certified tech to get me some hands on experience. I hope I can pass on my first try too. These videos however have helped me sooo much @@tdixon97
I'm a new CP tech, and got tossed into the deep end, just baskets and baskets of mystery surgical instruments with the item numbers worn away with time. This video has helped a ton, thank you.
For surgical instrument learning starts from here. The best lecture available on TH-cam for beginners with mindful PowerPoint for the students. Thank you so much, sir.
Hiii So today I passed my NCCT exam here in California. Omg it was so hard. Just wanted to say thank you for all the content you put out & actually taking the time to respond to questions and such it really helped a lot!
I recall having watched a great surgery professor who was astoundingly skillful. He employed his own instrument tech. She was so familiar with even very complex operations that he only held out his hand to have exactly the right instrument passed from one of the several open trays. He knew that talking at the table increases the risk of pt. infection, as does anything other than delicate tissue manipulation.
Got a job interview at a hospital this Monday for a Sterile Processing Tech position. I recommend anyone to start in that position because its an entry level position into the OR department and to learn many surgical instruments. Many hospitals I came across are willing to train you if you are new. I was told its better to also be certified as well and they can expect you to be certified months down the line. You get paid more being certified. Either you do over 400 work hours, get a schedule done for the certification exam, OR, while working you attend sterile processing classes, and pass to get certified. I'm doing both for the experience and to work my way up to have the experience to help be a Surgical technologist as well. That in itself is a different position but a different process to achieve with a AS degree. Its easier hands on experience, plus I did research, you are expected to learn many instruments as a Surgical Tech, and some recommend people goes down that route to learn the instruments easier.
Thank you for this confirmation. I’m going to school for sterile processing then soon surgical tech 🫠❤️ I already work in the medical field so it helps already being in .
Thank you very much!! I was wishing to find something like this!!! so clear and calm and professionally explained and to the point- edited to the max! I have a “test “ at work tomorrow and this was the info I really needed!!!!
starting school come April and wanted to start getting myself familiar with the instruments ,thank you so much for taking the time to do this video as it was very helpful, I will be using this video throughout my time in school.
I’m thinking about making Surgical Tech my career goal but I’m so happy I found your page to teach me while I debate on going back to school before paying my student loan lol can’t wait to start my journey.
wonderful video! supplementing my SPD training with a splash of surgical tech info to better understand my customers, this was highly informative! thanks!
I am a M.A., P.N. I enjoyed your video immensely. I've assisted doctors in minor surgeries, and loved my job, so fascinating, and I like to keep learning. Thank you very much! By the way, would you please show a rib spreader?
You are so clear at describing all instruments, great information video on surgical basic tools. Wish it was bit longer video and if could use a dummy to show how some of the tools are actually used on tissues would have been great . Awesome job👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hello, thankyou for the crystal clear and excellent video demonstration. I would like to ask about the electric cauterization, when do we use such monopolar and bipolar cauterization? Thank you
plastic resins and poly based utensils for human interface non-static does not conduct electricity, does not manipulate the iron structure based around oxidized blood or an open orfice
Are there left-handed scissors for surgeons that are left-handed? If you use right-handed scissors in your left hand the blades tend to spread apart and not cut well.
i have used misquito & larger than mosquito clamps , small forcep , needle holders & reound end scissors & scalpel , while doing minor to moderate surgries # but haven't used blood vessels electrocautery # 👍🇵🇰
I always recommend CAAHEP and ABHES accredited programs. You can find a list of nearby CAAHEP programs here: www.caahep.org/students/find-an-accredited-program
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can one remember all the different instruments they're so many!!! Jeez, is all of these instruments on the exam to be certified?
Ha! I TOTALLY understand. I felt exactly the same way when I went through my Surgical Technology program. What made it worse was when I learned that the instruments covered in this video, was just Chapter 1!!!! And there were 14 other chapters, each just as big, covering all the specialty instruments. In all I had to learn over 300 instruments. And my students in the Associates degree program will have to learn over 400. Are they all going to be on the National Board exam? No. But several will be, and we don't know which ones those are.
Hello I am brand new to this channel and considering the Surgical Tech field. Does anyone happen to know which programs are accredited in NYC? I google it and so many colleges and programs come up but I’m not sure how to check which ones are accredited in 2024. Also does anyone recommend going the college route vs a tech program? Any information is greatly appreciated! Thank you

Yap😂
Same. I'd be in sh** deep trouble 😂😂
I did it without TH-cam 😂😂
We took pictures with old cameras!! Not kidding.. I still have the photos!❤
Thank youuu for this video and the PowerPoint presentation ❤
Thank You and Much Love from the Philippines.
Super explanation. Thank you very much sir. I learned a lot and got a clear idea about surgical instruments and their use.🥰
Thank you for all this information. Can you make another one with other diffrent instruments?
MUCH APPRECIATE FOR THE DISCUSSION ON SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS. THANKS A LOT.
Thank you. Very informative video.

It was very complete and useful, thanks you a lot .
very informative video thanks sir..
loved your video thanks it was very supportive what great teaching
I’m surprised you didn’t have Richardson, Deever or Harrington in the retractors, those a pretty common in general surgery.
I remember Dr. Deaver. Note spelling.
Daddy you're the best, thank you, God bless you
Thank you for amazing video 😍👍🏼
Thank you so.much doctor this is very helpful vedio I learned a lot I can practice again and again

Thank you so much Sir.🙏🏾
Thank you very much from Italy :)
Amazing I love this!!
I just happened across this today. I think I found a new career! 😀
Are there left-handed scissors for surgeons that are left-handed? If you use right-handed scissors in your left hand the blades tend to spread apart and not cut well.
The Navy OR school taught us well. 50 years and I still knew each name.
Excellent 👌👌👌
Incredible!!!!!
This is amazing, thank you so much
i have used misquito & larger than mosquito clamps , small forcep , needle holders & reound end scissors & scalpel , while doing minor to moderate surgries # but haven't used blood vessels electrocautery # 👍🇵🇰
Do you have a video over pediatric surgery?? Its my last chapter test and need help!
That's a good idea, but, no, I don't have one. There isn't a pediatrics chapter in the book I was working from.
This was very helpful!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Do you recommend doing surgical tech programs online?
