With Planatome® Technology, the surgical experience has changed for both the surgeon and the patient. These improved surgical blades help eliminate unnecessary tissue trauma to deliver a more elegant surgical experience with better results.
Precision Incisions for Healing and Recovery
You want the very best surgical outcome for your patients, and if a better outcome is achievable, they know you will provide it. But there has been no improvement to the conventional scalpel blade in 100+ years (patented circa 1915). Until Planatome, which demonstrably delivers extraordinary healing and incision benefits to both patients and surgeons.
See what Surgeons are saying about Planatome
Dr. Sachin Shridharani, MD, FACS – “Better ergonomics – ease of use to create incision; good feel, clean incision. Clean incision is a better cut. More durable means using fewer blades. As an example, I performed a bilateral thigh lift with one Planatome vs 3-4 standard scalpels. It’s a paradigm shift on how you use a blade.”
Dr. Steven Fagien, MD, FACS – “Love the precision and consistency of the Planatome blades. Precision is the key to Aesthetic Surgery and the consistency helps to minimize the patient to patient variation we see in our practice. Definitely get less bleeding which help my visibility in creating intricate incisions on the eyelid.”
Dr. Justin Sacks, MD, FACS – Chief of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the Department of Surgery at Washington University in St. Louis; Expertise in post-traumatic injury and oncologic surgery.
Dr. Joshua Zimm, MD, FACS – Double Board-Certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology
Dr. Atanu Biswas, MD – “There is a clear difference. I used only one #10 and one #15 Planatome blade for a breast reduction, which usually requires 5-10 regular blades per case. The handling characteristics are much better. It’s weird since most of us just take it for granted that a blade is a blade, but there is a clear difference.”
Dr. Daria Hamrah, DMD, FAACS, FADSA – “Love the blades! Definitely better than the standard blades that I’ve been using! They feel sturdier and don’t bend as easily. Cut and carve with less effort and greater precision, as you can cut with more gentle pressure. Definitively last longer! During Rhinoplasty, when cutting and shaping cartilage, I go through 4 blades on average, and I used one Planatome. During intra-oral surgery when cutting down to bone, the blades don’t dull like the standard blades, and they continue to cut with sharpness and precision. For example, during 3rd molar surgery I can use one single blade throughout the entire case without having to switch.”
Dr. Frank Agullo, MD, FACS – “Until now, we have been limited in taking care of surgical scars until after we make the incision. Suture technique and material, taping, scar gels, microneedling, and lasers can all help improve the scars previously made. With Planatome® polished scalpel blades I can minimize the scar by minimizing trauma in a smooth and precise manner to exclusively use Planatome.”
