Planatome Technology

VS

All Other Blades

The Planatome Polished Blade strengthens your practice. Quality care has forced you to embrace advancements in innovation. While you’ve invested in the best technologies for your practice, sometimes the smallest tools make a difference in levels of care.

  • Use fewer scalpels during surgery
  • Shorten operating time
  • See more predictable procedures
  • Experience more predictable outcomes
  • Increase surgery volume
  • Increase patient referral

WHAT IS CHEMICAL MECHANICAL PLANARIZATION (CMP)?

CMP is advanced semiconductor nano-polishing technology.

As such, the Planatome Surgical Blade is an ultra-smooth and consistent precision tool.

    • Minimizes surgically induced tissue trauma
    • Eliminates the manufacturing grind defects found on all standard scalpels
    • Redefines surgical expectations for both the surgeon and patient
    • Delivers faster healing with less infection
    • Results in increased wound strength with reduced scarring
    • Minimizes pain by reducing nerve damage
