Key Features:

1. Master Hundreds of Surgical Setups
Never walk into a case blind. Access step-by-step procedural blueprints and instrument lists for hundreds of surgical procedures. Explore our free General Surgery setups, or upgrade to Pro for Cardiac, ENT, Neurology, OB/GYN, Ophthalmology, and more. Each setup provides a detailed breakdown of the exact instruments and supplies you need so you can stay steps ahead of the surgeon.

2. The Ultimate 2,700+ Instrument Library
Ditch the heavy textbooks. Utilize our smart global search to instantly identify over 2,700 surgical instruments featuring high-fidelity images, alternate names, and handling cautions. The database is intuitively organized by functional categories—such as Grasping & Holding, Retracting & Exposing, and Cutting & Dissecting—allowing you to quickly build visual recall and muscle memory.

3. Surgical Case Log Evaluator
Stop second-guessing your clinical requirements. Use our free, built-in evaluator to instantly verify if a procedure will count toward your final logbook. Simply select your accreditation type (AST, NCCT, or CC4SA), input the procedure, and check off the specific tasks you performed in the OR. The app immediately evaluates your input and calculates whether your participation qualifies for a First Scrub, Second Scrub, or Observation role. It is the perfect, quick-reference verification tool to ensure you know exactly how a case counts before you submit it to your program director.
