Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Self-retaining retractors are placed into the wound and kept open by ratchets or spring locks, rather than surgical team members.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
The finishes of some portions of the microinstruments exposed to light in the surgical field are deliberately dulled to reduce glare. Some titanium microinstruments have a dull blue finish. Some ebonized black finish can also eliminate glare.
