S N Snow, S Zweibel, J S Lo
Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology 1992 April
This article describes the use of a handy, battery-powered, thermocautery unit to cut through the nail plate when performing dermatologic surgery involving nail tissue.

The units are inexpensive and safe to operate.
