A method of labelling an instrument 3 comprising the steps of: providing a recess 4 in a surface of the instrument, the recess having a lowermost surface 6 and an uppermost aperture 5, the lowermost surface having a larger surface area than the area of said uppermost aperture; placing a coloured liquid resin into said recess; heating the instrument in order to cure said resin, ```whereby a coloured resin label is formed in said recess. Surgical instruments may thus be colour coded. |
