Small-size cautery.


Shippert Medical Technologies has designed a special-use cautery cautery, searing or destruction of living animal tissue by use of heat or caustic chemicals. In the past, cauterization of open wounds, even those following amputation of a limb, was performed with hot irons; this served to close off the bleeding vessels as well as  for minor cases, where a full-size cautery is not needed. This unique model, called the "flash 'n trash" Hotsy Totsy [TM] cautery, is well suited for lacerations, subungual hematomas A subungual hematoma is a collection of blood (hematoma) underneath a toenail or fingernail which often results from a traumatic injury such as slamming a finger in a door. A laceration of the nail bed causes bleeding into the constricted area underneath the hard nail plate. , and other small cases. It is also 20 to 30% less expensive than conventional cauteries.

The Hotsy Totsy comes in a box of ten for $59.95. Mention seeing this product in ENT ENT ears, nose, and throat (otorhinolaryngology).
