Where to buy a cauterizer?

[Tony P]

I get mine from my doctor. It is a one time use tool for them so he has no problem saving them for me & they are so much better than the ones you buy from the fly shops & tackle stores.

Good luck,
Tony

How does that work. I am about to go in and deny the guys a chance to swim upstream, and the urologist talked of Cauterizing. Should I ask to keep the tool after he cuts and burns my junk?

Yep, that's about it. You'll be awake, so it'll be something to talk about, anyhow.

Oh, and when he says take the next couple days easy, believe him.

Keep a bag of frozen peas handy.

also looks like you can buy them in Bird Supplies, to fix oopsies if you cut the nails too deep.

99% of the "medical" ones, are also; "ran on simple AA batteries".
I've gotten two of them, from doctors and simply took a plumber's "tubing cutter" and cut off the last 1/2" of the top end.
Take out the old batteries, (if dead), drop in two new ones and tape the end back on. You're set to go.
You can also simply cut the last 1/2" off the end, CAREFULLY, using a small hobby type hack saw, anything that will cut plastic evenly and slowly. (so you don't cut into the batteries themselves).

vet...hmmm

hadn't thought of that. Wonder if they throw them out after single usage too...

Cabelas has one in the bargain cave for repairing plastic baits. still too much to pay, esp. if I can get one from an MD or DVM.

I think I'm gonna have to go begging to my medical contacts!

I have one of the disposalable ones and I cut the back end off carefully and installed a rubber end cap on the end. Changed the batteries on it when needed. Works fine for 5 years now.
