Already proven as a stellar addition to surgical procedures everywhere, the Bovie Aaron cautery devices have exceptional applications in a veterinary practice, as well. While electrosurgery has virtually replaced traditional scalpels for a number of common medical procedures, cautery may not be far behind. With the combination of simple battery operated cautery and the more complex electrosurgery units, the veterinary applications of Bovie Aaron devices cover the gamut from simple topical treatments to complex internal surgeries.
What is a Cautery?
A cautery is a handheld device that uses a heated wire tip typically to apply heat to targeted blood vessels. This tool has a very specific set of uses, since it can not cut tissue or capture samples. Its ability to reach into very small areas to stop bleeding makes it invaluable during almost any surgical procedure.
Simple Cautery Procedures
Some common topical procedures include wart removal and treatment of other skin lesions. Cauteries can also be used to treat surface tumors, denying them blood flow and removing them from the body. Cautery has replaced cryotherapy and freezing as the preferred treatment for these conditions. Cautery can be helpful in many different surgical procedures, from a declaw on cats to a surgery to dock ears and tails for certain dog breeds. Sealing the blood vessels quickly and completely enables patients to start recovering from the surgery as soon as the last stitch goes in.
