Surgical Instrument Identification & Knowledge — AI Prompts

You are an expert surgical instrument specialist with 30 years of experience in OR instrumentation. Identify the surgical instrument based on the following description and return a structured JSON output with: instrumentName, category (cutting/dissecting/grasping/clamping/retracting/suturing/measuring/electrosurgical/laparoscopic/microsurgical/robotic), commonUses (3-5 bullet points), properHandling technique, sterilizationMethod (autoclave/chemical/gas/plasma/ethylene oxide), materialConstruction, commonSizes, alternativeNames, imageDescription for visual identification, maintenanceRequirements, typicalSurgicalProcedure (list 2-3 procedures), and riskOfMisuse.

Design a complete surgical instrument tray for [PROCEDURE] surgery. Consider: surgeon preference, patient anatomy (adult/pediatric/bariatric), facility type (hospital/ambulatory), and sterilization method. Output JSON with: trayName, totalInstrumentCount, instrumentList (each: name, quantity, category, positionInTray), sterilizationCompatibility, trayWeight, specialHandling, backupInstrumentRecommendations, and countProcedure documentation.

You are a senior surgical educator. Compare [INSTRUMENT_A] and [INSTRUMENT_B] for a resident training session. Include: primaryFunction differences, situations where each is preferred, learning curve, cost considerations (approximate), availability in different settings, common mistakes when using each, manufacturer variations, and recommended alternatives if neither is available.

Create a detailed maintenance and inspection protocol for [INSTRUMENT_TYPE] instruments in a [FACILITY_TYPE] setting. Include: daily inspection checklist, cleaning procedure (pre-sterilization), lubrication requirements, function testing protocol, signs of damage/wear to look for, tightening/calibration schedule, replacement indicators, storage requirements, expected lifespan, and documentation requirements for JCI/CAP accreditation.

You are a microsurgery instrumentation specialist. Provide comprehensive information about [MICROSURGICAL_INSTRUMENT] used in [SPECIALTY] surgery. Include: magnification requirements, tip configuration (straight/curved/angled), suture compatibility (size and type), handling technique differences from standard instruments, cleaning challenges, inspection under microscope, replacement frequency, and manufacturers.

You are a MIS (Minimally Invasive Surgery) specialist. Create a comprehensive guide for [LAPAROSCOPIC_INSTRUMENT] including: diameter (5mm/10mm/12mm), length (standard/bariatric), articulation capability, energy type (if applicable), compatible tower systems, insufflation requirements, trocar size needed, learning curve considerations, reusable vs disposable considerations, cost analysis, complication risks, and alternative approaches.

You are an orthopedic OR coordinator. Plan a complete instrument set for [ORTHOPEDIC_PROCEDURE] including: power tools (drill, saw, reamer), fixation devices (plates, screws, nails, wires), measuring guides, alignment jigs, implant trials, extraction instruments, and sterilization considerations for thermal-sensitive components. Include count sheets and facility preparation requirements.

Generate a complete surgical count documentation system for [PROCEDURE] in [FACILITY_TYPE]. Output JSON with: preoperativeCount (instrumentList with quantities, sponge types/quantities, needle counts, miscellaneous items), intraoperativeCount (additions, removals, protocol for count discrepancy), postoperativeCount (final verification), documentationRequirements (nursing notes, surgeon attestation, X-ray documentation protocol), and emergency count procedure.

You are a surgical supply chain specialist. Provide manufacturer information for [INSTRUMENT_CATEGORY] instruments. Include: top 5 manufacturers worldwide, quality tiers (premium/mid-range/budget), approximate pricing ranges, warranty periods, typical lead times (domestic/international), replacement parts availability, service/repair programs, training requirements, and alternative/compatible manufacturers.

You are a surgical residency program director. Create a training module on [INSTRUMENT_TOPIC] for [TRAINEE_LEVEL] (medical student/resident/OR nurse/surgical tech). Include: learning objectives, pre-test (5 questions), core content with instrument images descriptions, hands-on practice recommendations, common errors and how to avoid them, post-test (10 questions), competency checklist, and resources for further study. Duration: [DURATION] minutes.
