About the book

Every surgeon has had the thought in the middle of a case: this instrument should work better. A few go on to sketch it, and fewer still see it made. The Name on the Instrument is a field guide for the surgeon who wants to be one of the few.

Alexander C. Ebner has spent his career at the bench with surgeons and German instrument makers, and has personally designed, developed and manufactured more than seventy unique surgical instruments. This book distills what he has learned about taking an idea from a sketch on a napkin to a finished instrument with a surgeon's name on it, and about the part most people underestimate: paying for it.

Written in plain language for practicing surgeons, residents, engineers and anyone who works alongside them.
