cauterizers
Tissue burning tools
Cauterizers are instruments or substances used to burn tissue, typically to stop bleeding, destroy abnormal growths, or prevent infection.
Medical cauterizers range from heated metal tools to electric devices and chemical agents.
The surgeon used cauterizers to seal the blood vessels during the procedure.
