Instruments by Function

The idea
Surgical instruments are easiest to learn by function, because almost every basic instrument belongs to a small number of families.
In practice
The families are cutting and dissecting, grasping and holding, clamping, retracting and exposing, suturing and stapling, and suctioning.
Where people slip
Names come later; knowing what an instrument does tells you when the surgeon will want it.
