Currently J-Plasma is cleared by the FDA for cutting and soft tissue coagulation. The clearance allows the J-Plasma device for use in a multitude of specialties and a wide range of procedures. This potential breakthrough and innovative technology can be utilized in laparoscopic surgery and in open procedures combining multiple functions permitting the surgeon to cut, coagulate and dissect with a single device.
What are some of its top features?
-
Ease of Use: This new hand piece, is operated with a single push button, hand activation (foot pedal optional), for both cutting and coagulation.
-
Increased Modality: J-Plasma, combined with its retractable blade feature, allows surgeons to excise tissue “paint” or spot coagulate with a single device.
-
Controlled Coagulation: The J-Plasma stream is limited to a maximum of 15mm in length, thus eliminating “pass through” as demonstrated by some lasers.
-
Retractable Cutting Feature: Our new open, and laparoscopic J-Plasma hand piece, with retractable cutting feature provides the option to retract or extend the surgical blade at controlled increments, providing multiple modes of operation in a single instrument.
-
In the extended configuration, the surgical blade can be used without energy or plasma, similar to a scalpel for incisions and other cutting procedures.
-
When retracted, the device can be used to form the J-Plasma stream for coagulation or blunt dissection. A combination of the J-Plasma stream with the blade extended can provide an enhanced cutting capability with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.
