ABSTRACT:
An electrocautery hemostat is provided which may be used as a hemostatic clamping device and an apparatus for cauterizing bleeding blood vessels during surgery. The electrocautery hemostat is comprised of a pair of pivoted members which form at one end mating jaws for enabling the clamping of a bleeding blood vessel. The opposite ends of the members are provided with an insulative covering with at least one opening therethrough. An electrical switch is provided for clamping to one of the pivoted members and for making an electrical connection to the member through the opening in the insulative covering. The other end of the switch is connected through an electrical conductor to a source of electrical energy. The mating jaws are of a smaller cross-section than a conventional hemostat and are adapted for use in probing and cauterizing. The device of the present invention may be used by a surgeon with one hand, the other hand being free to perform other functions, both as a cauterizing instrument and to clamp, as may be necessary, a bleeding blood vessel in a manner similar to that of a hemostat.
