resistance Chromium increases _________________ to corrosion.
titanium stronger and lighter in weight; nonmagnetic; more resistant to corrosion than
stainless steel; generally have a blue finish of titanium oxide, which is designed to
reduce glare
highly polished, bright finish increases resistance to corrosion but can be distracting to the surgical team
because of its tendency to reflect light
satin (dull) finish less reflective and reduce glare
ebonized (black chromium) finish nonreflective and virtually eliminates glare; recommended for procedures
involving a laser because it prevent deflection of the laser beam

accessory instruments ring forceps, used to grasp a folded radiopaque 4x4 sponge for sponging or
retraction deep with a wound; curved ring forceps, which may be used to create
tunnels for placement of catheters or arterial grafts; towel clips, used to hold
folded towels together during square-draping and occasionally used to grasp,
hold, and reduce small fractured bones
cutting/dissecting instruments instruments with one or more sharp edges that are used for incision, sharp
dissection, or excision of tissue
cutting/dissecting instruments knives, scalpels, and bone-cutting instruments (osteotomes, currettes, chisels,
gouges, and rongeurs); saws, drills, biopsy punches, adenotomes, and
dermatomes may also be classified as ___________________________
-tome refers to an instrument for cutting
scalpels typically have a detachable disposable blade and nondisposable handle
knife have a nondisposable handle and blade as a single unit
safety scalpel single-use, disposable knife blades that include a safety shield; may include a
disposable or nondisposable knife handle depending upon the manufacturer

scalpel handle sizes #3, #4, #7, and #9
#3 and #4 standard handles are 5 inches in length; also available as a long handle
other types of knife handles miniature blade handle with chuck (device used to tighten the blade onto the
handle), used for procedures that require very small incisions, such as eye
procedures; Beaver handle, which is specifically designed to hold the small
Beaver blades
disposable blades made from carbon steel and slide into a groove on the end of the scalpel handle,
although some scalpels handles have a locking mechanism instead of a groove
for easy loading; must be loaded onto and removed from the handle with an
instrument, typically a needle holder
blades #10, #11, #12, and #15 fit #3, #7, and #9 handles;
#20-#25 fit a #4 handle
#69 What is the most frequently used Beaver blade?
#10 (typically loaded onto the #3 handle) What is the most frequently used blade?
