. Principles of electro-medicine, electrosurgery and radiology : a practical treatise for students and practitioners. With chapters on mechanical vibration and blood pressure technique . ^ desiccation, surgical diathermy, electrolysis, magnet opera-tions, Fig. 30—Cautery electrode handle. Electro-Cautery Electro-cautery, performed with a platinum knife (electrode) heatedto a cherry-red or white heat, enables us, on account of the obliterationof smaller vessels and coagulation of the blood, to sever tissue withouthemorrhage. The greater the heat of the electrode, the less pain is produced, butthere is greater liability of subsequent hemorrhage; therefore, a cherry-red heat, which is a temperature intermediate between red and whiteheat, is usually the most satisfactory. Electro-cautery is employed to remove polypi and tumors difficult toreach with the knife; to cut through the cervix uteri; to remove growthsin the pharynx and larynx, and to cauterize laryngeal ulcers; to destroythe nerve in a hollow tooth; to arrest hemorrhage; to treat some cases ofprostatic hypertrophy; to open an abcess in the lung after a rib hasbeen resected, etc. In order to be able to heat the platinum cautery electrodes (loops orknives) which have a very low re
