Cautery setDescription
a cased set of cauteries by Mariaud. The cautery was obviously very effective in controlling bleeding and in fact very useful in preventing infection in the pre-antibiotic era. Use of the cautery is illustrated in the hand colored print "Feldtbüch der Wundartzney" (1517) by Hans von Gersdorff while a later print demonstrated how the cautery was used during a mastectomy, from "Armamentarium Chiruigicum" (1655) by Joannis ScultetusDimensions
