A medical device used in more than 80 percent of all procedures is getting a much-needed make-over from four biomedical engineering majors. The electrocautery tool heats to 1200 degrees at the touch of a button and because it remains hot after use, the tip can accidently burn patients or medical professionals. This team of students re-engineered a retractable feature that eliminates the chance of any accidental injuries.
