Bovie cautery is a surgical procedure performed with the use of a “bovie," a medical device that cuts and seals, or cauterizes, tissues and blood vessels by way of a direct electrical current. A scapel is not used. Touching body tissues with heated prongs on the end of the bovie transfers heat to the tissues, destroying those in immediate contact and cauterizing adjacent tissues. For this reason, bovie cautery is also called “thermocautery” or “electrocautery.”
