Sure♦Blade™ Diamond Laser Knife
The Diamond LaserKnife is an innovative, ultra-precision "cold contact" diamond scalpel that offers the surgeon the added benefit of simultaneous controlled cauterization. This unique impact technology gives the surgeon one handed precision cutting while providing a uniform and controllable field of infrared energy at the tissue interface. Unlike free-hand-cutting surgical lasers and electro-cautery systems, the Diamond LaserKnife provides the user with tactile feedback and a cutting instrument that is over 40 times sharper than a steel scalpel. Since the diamond remains cold while the infrared energy heats the tissue to coagulation temperature, collateral tissue damage is minimized and there is less delay in re-vascularization. This results in less bruising with quicker healing and recovery. Additionally, swelling and scarring of tissue is greatly reduced.
