Plasma blade electrode Medtronic

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
