The new style High Temperature Elongated Fine Tip Cautery features safety enhancements and changes:

• The snap-design incorporates a green, recessed, activation button to assist in the prevention of inadvertent activation of the unit, if proper disposable instructions are not followed.
• The cautery is designed to allow the back-end to be broken open, facilitating the removal of the alkaline batteries. This step also accomplishes a safe disposal of the product by eliminating the energy source.
• Tip assembly, energy optimization, final testing, printing, packaging, and sterilization are all done in the USA.
