The Problem

Clinical & Financial Constraints of 100+ Year Old Tech

For over a century, the cutting surfaces used in surgery have barely evolved.

Across medical device applications, traditional surface finishing methods have not kept pace with the performance demands of modern surgery. Grinding, coarse abrasion, and standard polishing leave behind microscopic defects, burrs, and inconsistent surface geometries that increase tissue drag, accelerate wear, and limit long-term device performance.

Ground Edge
03 as received, side view, 1000x (1)
Conventional blade surface roughness
Ra = 5,000 – 50,0000 nm
Nano-Polished Edge
03 nanopolished, side view, 1000x (1)
Planatome blade surface roughness
Ra = 5 – 20 nm

The Technology Advantages

  • Leverages chemical mechanical planarization (CMP)

  • Nano-polishes to the molecular level

  • Reduces average surface roughness by 1,000x vs conventional blades1

Ground Edge
Rough Cut
The rough edges of conventional blades tear and damage soft tissue.
Nano-Polished Edge
Clean Cut
The Planatome nano-polished cutting edge creates clean incisions

The Clinical Advantage

Accelerates healing2,5

  • 90% of the incision was healed in 72 hours vs 10% with standard scalpels2

  • 25% recovery of nerves cut with a nano-polished blade at 5 weeks vs only 9% with a standard blade5
