https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/32325/instrument-identification Hi all, What do people use for instrument identification for kits? We currently use the tape but it does get old looking very quickly and some colours start to look similar after time so looking to change. en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/177794?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 03 Jul 2022 21:15:11 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:68139ecc-4891-45f8-80c4-d86724dd167dNick Shackleton <p>We have a ring binder with all kits photographed and on the back a list of instruments in said kit. I hate tape as over time the glue melts and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/177792?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 02 Jul 2022 06:42:06 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:8ff034d0-a226-4f09-892e-4f7acebdc9ceKathy Pendar-Hughes<p>I&#39;ve just got rid of all tape colour coded kits for the same reason as tape looked horrid and also staff got &#39;lazy&#39; not knowing what was in the kit to know if anything was missing. We have standardised kits now. Cat spay ( can be used on lumps/castrates etc) smaller forceps and bitch spay kit - similar to the cat spay but larger forceps and a couple extras. We have a chart in prep as to what should be included if anyone forgets. We then do have a simple stitch up kit with minimal instruments. Once you learn what&#39;s in it it&#39;s easy to see what&#39;s missing.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
