ABSTRACT:
An electro cautery device for attachment to a suction pump and to a source of electric current includes a tubular member one end of which is connectable to the suction pump and the other end is insertable into the cavity of a human torso. A retractable cautery element is mounted on the end insertable into the torso and connectable to a source of electric current. The cautery element is movable between a retracted position which prevents it from being exposed to tissue and an extended position used during cauterization. A button on the tubular member moves the cautery element from the retracted to the extended positions when depressed, simultaneously connecting the cautery element to the source of the electric current.
