Planatome is improving the surgical experience. With our blades, surgeons have precise control of the incision from opening to closing. There is less soft tissue damage, cleaner margins, and less bleeding during the procedure. At closing, tissue comes back together evenly. Post-procedure, there is less inflammation and less scarring. Patients heal faster with fewer follow-ups.
Planatome’s Superior Healing
- Less tissue damage
- Reduced pain
- Minimized bleeding
- Faster wound closing
- Less inflammation
- Improved nerve regeneration
- Rapid recovery
Planatome’s Nano-Polished Surgical Blades are Delivering Better Surgical Outcomes for Physicians and Patients
Planatome applies atomic-level polishing from the semiconductor industry to create advanced surgical blades. It is the first advancement in surgical blade technology in nearly a century. The smooth blade edge gives physicians more control of the surface incision producing clean margins, faster incision closing, less inflammation, and less scarring.

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. Sachin Shridharani, 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. Steven Fagien, MD, FACS
Definitely the surgical scars look better. When you cut through the skin and particularly the dermis, the cut needs to be smooth without disrupting a lot of the lymphatics, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue which would inhibit healing. Planatome certainly cuts better, cuts smoother, less trauma and less shear.
Dr. Anthony A. Admire, 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.
Dr. Frank Agullo MD, FACS
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. Atanu Biswas, MD
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.
Dr. Daria Hamrah DMD, FAACS, FADSA
It’s a game changer and it’s a disruptor. There’s maybe a product or two that come out every few years and truly change the landscape of our industry. Without a doubt, my patients have benefited from my use of this blade. Planatome starts minimizing scarring from the time of incision rather than post operatively – and that benefits every single patient.

Surgeon to Surgeon FAQs
No. Using conventional scalpel blades as our blanks, Planatome® has adapted atomic-level polishing from the manufacturing of advanced microchips which they use to create atomically smooth surgical blades.
Planatome® blades are single use, disposable, sterile blades that give surgeons the performance of diamond or obsidian blades but at a far less expensive price point.
Data has shown that surgeons using Planatome® blades see less soft tissue damage at the incision, less closing resistance, cleaner margins, and fewer complications. Their patients experience less inflammation, less pain and see faster healing with less scarring.
Planatome® blades can be purchased from our website (coming soon). In addition, we can provide additional information or sample here.
Planatome® blades were designed to promote better surgical outcomes. The blades have the performance of diamond and obsidian blades but are far less expensive. The blades are registered for use in the US by the FDA and have recently been adopted for use by several hospitals.
Yes. Planatome® blades are currently in use by surgeons in the fields of plastic, orthopedic and ob/gyn surgery. The blades have recently been adopted for use in several hospitals.
