Plasma blade electrode Medtronic
Description
The precision of a scalpel with the bleeding
control of traditional electrosurgery, but
WITHOUT all the collateral thermal damage.
Features and Benefits
• Integrated suction for enhanced visibility
• Telescoping shaft from 5.5cm to 15cm
• 3.0mm wide blade for greater precision
• Ergonomic handle design for comfort and control

BENEFITS
LOWER TEMPERATURE
- 64% average reduction in blade temperature for similar CUT settings compared to traditional electrosurgery5
- 40% reduction in blade temperature for similar COAG settings compared to traditional electrosurgery5
INCISION HEALING
- Equivalent cutaneous healing to scalpel1,*
- Significantly reduced thermal injury depth and scar width compared to traditional electrosurgery5
INCREASED EFFICIENCY
- Maintains cutting effectiveness and hemostatic ability even when submerged in liquefied tissue or blood, unlike traditional electrosurgical tools7
REDUCED SURGICAL SMOKE
- Less surgical smoke,8 allowing for increased visibility
REDUCED RISK
- Eliminates risk of inadvertent scalpel injury
