Peak Surgical is happy to announce that the FDA has 510(k) OK'ed to market the company's plasma scalpel system for use in general surgery, a device we reviewed back in May. The system touts the precision of a standard scalpel and the cauterization abilities of the bovie, but without the accompanying burning of peripheral flesh and all the smoke.

The video below shows off the technology and demonstrates various cuts using the PlasmaBlade compared to scalpels and bovies.
