A haemostatic knife is a hand-operated surgical instrument that resembles a scalpel, designed to cut tissues while simultaneously cauterizing blood vessels to control bleeding. It uses an electrically heated blade to apply thermal energy directly to tissues, making it useful in various surgical procedures including general surgery, gynecology, and orthopedics.
These devices are typically reusable and require electrical connections to function. They are regulated as surgical instruments and must meet safety standards for their intended use in medical procedures.
