Lawson Tait has invented an electric haemostat, an instrument whereby the electric current fs applied for the arrest of bleeding, The prinei- ple of the instrument is the generation of heat by the resistance to the current offered by certain metals, and the coag- uation of all albuminous tissues by temperatures at or above 180 degrees A platingm wire is In- closed in the blades of a pair of steel ment, the wire being isolated by a bed of burned pipe clay. A current of suit able voltage is turned oun, the artery seized and compressed, and in a few seconds ita tissues are so coagulated and Ha walle agglatinated that furthe? passage of blood ls rendered imposes ble.
