  • Novel method for safe cauterisation of posterior epistaxis

  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 123 / Issue 8 / August 2009

  • Introduction:

    In epistaxis, anterior bleeding points are easily cauterised under direct vision, but those which occur in the posterior nose present a greater challenge. Standard cautery techniques limit simultaneous use of other equipment in the narrow posterior nose.

    Methods:

    This article presents a novel device which combines suction, cautery stick and sheath in one single-handed implement for ease of use.

    Conclusion:

    This novel, hand-held device for simultaneous suction and safe cautery of posterior epistaxis is both safe and cost-effective. It enables successful treatment by a single operator and is relatively easy to use by the non-skilled, junior trainee.
