Electrophysiology
The PEAK PlasmaBlade is a novel, low-temperature surgical device designed for precision dissection with minimal thermal injury to adjacent tissue and structures. Due to the low operating temperatures of the PlasmaBlade, there is a reduced chance of damaging the indwelling lead insulation.
- The PlasmaBlade 4.0, which is designed to be used to cut through all types of soft tissue, including skin, fat and muscle.
- The PlasmaBlade 3.0S has complete intregrated suction with a telescoping shaft for an extended reach of up to 15cm.
- The PlasmaBlade Needle, which has a fine needlepoint tip, is specifically designed for use in ultra-precise surgical procedures.
- The PlasmaBlade EXT is designed for use in surgical procedures requiring an extended tip to reach deep into the body.

In a recent study, which will be presented at the HRS 2010 Meeting, Effects of Pulsed RF Energy Compared to Standard Electrosurgery on Transvenous Lead Insulation Materials., Weisberg, et al. evaluated the effects of the PEAK Plasmablade compared to traditional electrosurgery on lead insulation materials. Based on the study results the PlasmaBlade may reduce the potential for lead insulation damage.
