Abstract: A disposable electrosurgical cautery which functions in a dual capacity as a hollow sucker tube as well as a cauterizer, and is intended to be prepackaged in sterilized preferably envelope-type containers, to be used once and disposed of. The cautery consists of an elongated hollow metal electrode and suction tube having an electrical conductor wire permanently connected to the proximal portion, and together are encased in a plastic housing which serves as an insulating handle. The handle is of special anatomically contoured configuration to provide for deft and positive use of the distal or forwardly projecting probe or point of the cautery without chance of short circuits or burns through inadequate wire connections or poor insulation.
