If you go to the surgical Theater ask to see if they have any old order books. They may be one or two that is out of date. I am form the US and have been a OR nurse for 16 years feel free to email me if I can help. You must be from England.(The Theater)

This is the best one I could find - not being a medical practitioner I can't vouch for accuracy - so you'll have to assess that yourself. It does *seem* pretty comprehensive.
