Guest guest Posted March 10, 2001 Report Share Posted March 10, 2001 I found hyfercated and hyfrecated on google. Hyfercated means to numb and hyfrecated is a wart treatment. There is actually a medical device called a Hyfrecator which apparently removes warts.

I know I have seen a long discussion on this board about this word before, but I cannot recall the correct spelling. This is all I could find in Tessier's Word Book and could not find the definition.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2001 Report Share Posted March 10, 2001 Bev, The correct word is " hyfrecated. " The actual machine is called a Hyfrecator, which is a desiccator-fulgurator-coagulator, per Vera Pyle 8th edition. It is used to stop the bleeding after removal of nevi, etc. One of the docs I transcribe uses this all of the time when he does minor office surgeries such as shave biopsies. I hope this helps.
