MikeRock Report post Posted July 17, 2019 If you have doctor type friends, especially Emergency Room types, ask them for their used CAUTERIES. That is the medical thread zapper used to cauterize/heat seal small arteries and bleeding stuff. If you are in a city with a busy ER you will get a dozen or more a night.

That is very interesting. When I Googled Cauterie it looked amazingly like the Thread Zapper II that I got from Amazon... for around $10. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeRock Report post Posted July 17, 2019 I had a farming accident several years back and when they were done stitching me up I asked for the cautery. He gave me half a dozen........no issue with contamination on the working end!! They are the same darned tool, relabled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
