fon-tik'[=u]-lus, n. a small ulcer produced by caustics, &c.: the depression just over the top of the breast-bone. [L., dim. of fons.]
By Thomas Davidson
-
A small ulcer produced by art, either by the aid of caustics or of cutting instruments: the discharge from which is kept up with a view to fulfil certain therapeutical indications. The Pea issue, (F.) Fonticule a pois, is kept up by means of a pea placed in it. This pea, (F.) Pois a cautere, is sometimes formed of wax; at others, the young, blasted fruit of the orange is employed. The common dried garden pea answers the purpose. The seton is also an issue.
