Cautery
A cautery is a surgical instrument that has a wire tip that carries an electrical current and is used to seal blood vessels and stop blood flow. Its current is supplied either by a free-standing power box or, when less or non-variable current is required, by a battery installed in the instrument itself. The cautery mustalways be checked for sufficient or appropriate power before the procedure begins.
