• Ergonomic handle design for comfort and control

PRODUCT DETAILS

PLASMABLADE™ DEVICES VERSUS TRADITIONAL ELECTROSURGERY

THERMAL IMAGE PROFILE

These histologic profiles⁴ compare thermal injury (red) of the PlasmaBlade™ device and traditional electrosurgery devices at similar cut settings.

PlasmaBlade CUT 6 Histology Image — PlasmaBlade™ device incision using the CUT 6 setting, showing low thermal injury.

Traditional Electrosurgery CUT 35W — Incision using a traditional electrosurgical tool using the CUT 35W setting, showing significant thermal injury.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE PROFILE^5,*

Higher operating temperature is shown in infrared images.

PlasmaBlade Infrared Image — Operating temperature profile of the PlasmaBlade™ device dissection device using Infrared imaging.

Traditional Electrosurgery Infrared Image — Traditional Electrosurgery: 200-350°C

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 scalpel^1,*
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
