coagulator

Blood thickening device

A coagulator is a device or substance that causes coagulation—the process of liquid thickening into a solid or semisolid mass.

In medicine, coagulators are surgical instruments that use heat or electricity to clot blood and stop bleeding: The surgeon used an electrocautery coagulator during the procedure.

Chemical coagulators help purify water or process food.
