Cauterize – Fire to heal wounds? 😮

504 views

In a scene from The Blacklist, one of the characters uses a lighter on a wound to “cauterize” it. It looks painful but works. What exactly is it and is it actually done in medical scenarios?

Watch Rambo III and see him use gunpowder in a bullet wound to seal it up tight. The scene was in a cave in Afghanistan and its not like he had access to medical so he had no choice and it worked. What the movie doesn’t show is how he must have had some serious pain later on with scar tissue and just waiting for the wound and the burn to heal properly.
