PEAK Surgical has received FDA clearance for its PlasmaBlade 3.0S dissection device. The PlasmaBlade 3.0S has a 3.0mm wide blade with integrated suction, and a telescoping shaft that extends from 5.5 cm to 15 cm for reaching all those places deep away in the human body. PlasmaBlades are disposable dissection devices that use pulsed waveforms that produce short plasma-mediated electrical discharges to cut through tissue, resulting in the radiofrequency being delivered in short on-and-off pulses with low duty cycle. According to studies performed by the manufacturer, use of the PlasmaBlades results in reductions in thermal injury depth, inflammation and postoperative narcotic consumption and a stronger healed incision strength when compared to the “standard of care”, whatever that may have been.
