Low Temperature Plasma Blade

What is a low-temperature plasma knife?

The tip temperature of a traditional electrosurgical knife can reach 200 to 350 degrees, which may cause thermal damage to the tissues it contacts, leading to postoperative infections, poor wound healing, and scar formation, and may even cause tissue carbonization.。In contrast, the plasma surgical knife (single-use) adopts a pulsed energy design, reducing the output energy, and isolates about 99.5% of the electrode edges through the Thermal Protection Shield (TPS) structure, leaving only an effective range of about 12.5μm to enhance energy transfer efficiency. The plasma knife operates at a lower temperature (40 degrees to 170 degrees).It can achieve cutting and hemostatic effects, effectively reduce tissue thermal damage, lower postoperative pain and infection risks, promote wound healing, reduce scar formation, and shorten postoperative recovery time.。

Low Temperature Plasma KnifePrinciples and Advantages

The core technology of the low-temperature plasma knife lies in its pulsed energy design and space ceramic insulation technology, which allows its blade temperature to be effectively controlled at around 60°C, achieving the same cutting and hemostatic effects while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding tissues. This precise cutting technology not only maintains surgical accuracy but also effectively protects the breast and other sensitive tissues, avoiding damage to flap function. Surgeries using the low-temperature plasma knife often shorten operation time, reduce the amount of anesthetics used by patients, and are more beneficial for postoperative recovery.

For patients, the greatest advantage of the low-temperature plasma knife is that it significantly reduces postoperative pain and infection risk, promotes the wound healing process, and decreases scar formation. Wound healing is faster, postoperative recovery time is shortened, thereby improving the overall quality of life for patients. For the medical team, the smoke generated by the low-temperature plasma knife contains fewer carcinogens, making the air quality during the surgical process safer and reducing the risk of doctors and nursing staff developing respiratory diseases.

The operating principle of the low-temperature plasma knife

Low-temperature plasma knife, also known as plasma surgical knife, operates on the principle of using high-frequency current to generate plasma for cutting and coagulating tissue.

●Generation of plasma: The tip of the plasma knife's probe releases high-frequency electric current, causing the gas molecules (usually air) passing through to ionize and form plasma.
● Tissue cutting and hemostasis: Plasma has high energy, which can instantaneously vaporize tissue using the high energy of the plasma to achieve cutting effects. At the same time, the thermal energy generated by the plasma can coagulate blood and tissue fluids to achieve hemostasis.
●Low Temperature Control: Unlike traditional electrosurgical knives, the low-temperature plasma knife uses a pulsed energy design and employs Thermal Protection Shield (TPS) technology to isolate the edges of the electrode, concentrating energy delivery to the target tissue group. Combined with the thermal insulation technology of space ceramics, the blade temperature is effectively controlled between 40°C and 170°C, and can even be as low as around 60°C.

The low-temperature plasma knife enables effective cutting and hemostasis while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding tissues.

The main advantages of the low-temperature plasma knife:

How does the low-temperature plasma knife protect tissues?

The main difference between the low-temperature plasma knife and the traditional electrosurgical knife in protecting tissues during surgery lies in the operating temperature and the method of energy transfer:
●Lower temperature: The temperature of traditional electrosurgical knives can reach 200°C to 350°C, while the low-temperature plasma knife only requires 40°C to 170°C to achieve cutting and hemostatic effects. The lower temperature can effectively reduce thermal tissue damage, lower postoperative pain and infection risk, promote wound healing, reduce scar formation, and shorten postoperative recovery time.
● Pulsed energy and thermal insulation design: The low-temperature plasma knife adopts a pulsed energy design and utilizes Thermal Protection Shield (TPS) technology to isolate approximately 99.5% of the electrode edge, retaining only about 12.5μm of effective range, concentrating energy transmission to the target tissue group. In addition, the thermal insulation technology of space ceramics can control the blade temperature to around 60°C, further reducing thermal energy diffusion to surrounding tissues and protecting surrounding tissues from unnecessary thermal damage.

The low-temperature plasma knife concentrates thermal energy on the target tissue group through lower temperatures, pulsed energy, and thermal insulation design, thereby reducing thermal damage to surrounding tissues and achieving the goal of protecting tissues.

Low-temperature plasma knife can significantly affect the postoperative recovery period.

●Shorten surgery time: Due to precise cutting and good hemostatic effect, using a low-temperature plasma knife can shorten the surgery time. A reduction in surgery time means a decrease in the amount of anesthesia used, which also helps to speed up postoperative recovery.
● Reduce drainage: The low-temperature plasma knife can perform cutting and hemostasis at lower temperatures, reducing damage to surrounding tissues, thereby decreasing postoperative drainage volume and drainage time. In breast augmentation surgery, after using the low-temperature plasma knife, the average drainage volume significantly decreased, and the drainage tube removal time was shortened by about 2.4 days.

The 5 major advantages of the low-temperature plasma knife

●Relieve discomfort: Low-temperature operation reduces postoperative pain, making the recovery process more comfortable and easier.
●Natural hidden scars: Studies show that the scar width after using the plasma knife is comparable to that of a surgical knife, but due to reduced thermal damage, the scars are usually less severe and heal faster, resulting in a more natural and delicate postoperative effect.
● Efficient recovery: shorter surgery time, less anesthesia usage, less bleeding, and significantly shorter postoperative recovery period.
●Precision shaping: More accurately cut tissue, preserving more healthy tissue.
●Reduce surgical smoke: Traditional electrosurgical knives produce a large amount of smoke during the surgical process, which can affect health. In contrast, the low-temperature plasma knife generates less smoke, providing a safer air quality in the operating room.
