# Instrument Catalogue

> Browsing and filtering surgical instruments with 3D model previews.

## Instrument Catalogue

The instrument catalogue lists surgical instruments used alongside implants during orthopaedic procedures. Use it to review instrument specifications and visualise them in 3D.

## Browsing Instruments

Navigate to **Catalogues > Instruments** from the sidebar. Instruments are displayed in a searchable grid, similar to the implant catalogue.

Each instrument card shows:

* Instrument name and manufacturer
* Instrument type (e.g., Reamer, Guide Pin, Drill Bit, Inserter)
* 3D thumbnail (if available)
* Compatible implant references

## Filtering

Use the filter controls to narrow results:

| Filter           | Options                                                              |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Manufacturer** | All supported manufacturers                                          |
| **Type**         | Reamer, Guide Pin, Drill Bit, Tap, Inserter, Driver, Targeting Guide |
| **Procedure**    | ACL Reconstruction, MPFL Reconstruction, Rotator Cuff Repair, etc.   |

Filters can be combined. Clear individual filters by clicking the **x** tag, or click **Clear All** to reset.

## 3D Model Preview

Click an instrument card to open the detail view. If a 3D model is available, an interactive preview is displayed with orbit, zoom, and pan controls.

The detail view shows:

* Full instrument name and product code
* Dimensions (length, diameter, working length)
* Material
* Compatible implants and procedures

<Note>
  Instrument models are included in the catalogue for reference and visualisation. They are not placed into the surgical plan like implants — they are informational only.
</Note>

## Search

Use the search field at the top of the catalogue to find instruments by name, product code, or manufacturer. Results update as you type.

<Tip>
  If you know the implant you plan to use, check the implant detail page for a list of compatible instruments — this is often faster than browsing the full instrument catalogue.
