PlasmaBlade -Precise Dissection Device
The PlasmaBlade™ is a precise dissection device using very brief pulses of radiofrequency (RF) energy for the cutting and coagulation of soft tissue during surgical procedures.
The RF energy, combined with a proprietary insulation technology, enables the PlasmaBlade™ to dissect with the precision of a scalpel, and the bleeding control of traditional electrosurgery, while producing minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissue. Clinical research has demonstrated that low thermal injury technology offers intra-operative and post-operative benefits when compared to the current standard of care — scalpel and traditional electrosurgery.

Lower temperature
Demonstrated a 64% average reduction in blade temperature (40–170°C) for similar CUT settings, and a 45% average reduction for similar COAG settings when compared to traditional electrosurgery (200–350°C)[1] -
Increased efficiency
Maintains cutting effectiveness and haemostatic ability even when submerged in liquefied tissue or blood, unlike traditional electrosurgical tools[6] -
Reduced surgical smoke
Less surgical smoke,[7] allowing for increased visibility -
Reduced risk
Eliminates risk of inadvertent scalpel injury
