Utah Medical Epitome Electrosurgical Scalpels - Epitome Scalpel, 0.4", Extended 4" Shaft, Blue - CBE-150

The patented Epitome® scalpel electrode incorporates Peripheral Plasma Blade (P2B) technology. P2B is a fine wire element at the edge of a non-conductive ceramic core. This focused geometry creates a spark plasma at the blade edge, resulting in clean tissue dissection with minimal thermal injury.In fact, comparative wound healing analysis of porcine skin incisions shows an Epitome® incision (1) producing significantly reduced thermal injury as compared to a standard electrosurgical tip incision (2), and markedly improved wound healing as evidenced by a significant reduction in scarring (3) compared to the standard tip (4).
