PALO ALTO, Calif., July 8 /PRNewswire/ — PEAK Surgical, Inc.
today announced the launch of the PEAK PlasmaBlade® 3.0S
dissection device following 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA). This revolutionary product features a
3.0mm wide blade for even greater cutting precision, integrated
suction for enhanced visibility, and a telescoping shaft that
extends from 5.5 cm to 15 cm for improved surgical access. The
PlasmaBlade 3.0S is cleared for use in general, plastic and
reconstructive, ENT, gynecologic, orthopedic, arthroscopic, spinal
and neurological surgical procedures in the United States.
“I have found the PlasmaBlade 3.0S to be an excellent precision
dissection instrument for my spine surgery procedures,” said John Peloza, M.D., director of the Center for Spine Care in Dallas, Texas. “The PlasmaBlade 3.0S not
only precisely cuts and cauterizes pathological tissue but the
reduced thermal damage to surrounding healthy tissue has translated
into clinical benefits for my patients.”
“The access and visibility with the PlasmaBlade 3.0S is
excellent,” said Helson
Pacheco-Serrant, M.D., director of Neurosurgical Specialists
of El Paso in El Paso, Texas. “The speed with which I
can perform precise dissections near sensitive structures without
worrying about thermal spread is a real advantage to both me and my
patients. To date, my patients have experienced excellent
post-operative recoveries, which I believe is due to the reduced
thermal injury profile of this device.”
