Overview
The PlasmaBlade™ soft tissue dissection device uses brief, precise pulses of radiofrequency (RF) energy to cut and coagulate soft tissue. 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.1,2,3
Indications
The PlasmaBlade is indicated for cutting and coagulation of soft tissue during General, Plastic and Reconstruction (including but not limited to skin incisions and development of skin flaps), ENT, Gynecologic, Orthopaedic, Arthroscopic, Spinal and Neurological procedures.

BENEFITS
LOWER TEMPERATURE
- 64% average reduction in blade temperature for similar CUT settings compared to traditional electrosurgery1
- 45% average reduction in blade temperature for similar COAG settings compared to traditional electrosurgery1
INCISION HEALING
- Equivalent cutaneous healing to scalpel,5,*
- Significantly reduced thermal injury depth and scar width compared to traditional electrosurgery1
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 smoke8, allowing for increased visibility
REDUCED RISK
- Eliminates risk of inadvertent scalpel injury
