k Dirty cautery spatula Dirty cautery spatula. Macrophotograph of a cautery spatula with blood or tissue still attached after sterilisation. The spatula was sterilised in an autoclave, a pressurised steam heated device that heats objects to very high temperatures. This kills virtually all bacteria and viruses. However, some disease vectors, including prions, the infective agent of CreutzfeldtJacobs disease CJD the human form of mad cow disease, are not destroyed by autoclaving. Dirty surgical instruments could pass on such diseases. A cautery spatula is a heating device used to seal cauterise blood vessels during surgery to prevent blood loss.
