"The PEAK Surgery System represents a quantum leap in technology. It cuts like a knife with minimal scarring and collateral damage. And it eliminates the time and confusion from using two separate instruments to precisely cut delicate tissues and to control bleeding."
-- Thomas Krummel, M.D., Professor and Chair of Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine
"The PEAK PlasmaBlade cuts better than a knife. And we’re impressed with what we've seen microscopically. The combination of less damage and fast wound healing is really appealing."
-- Bryant Toth, M.D., Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco, and Assistant Clinical Professor, University of California, San Francisco
"Patients are very concerned about wound healing and how much scarring will result. The PEAK PlasmaBlade will be useful in cardiac surgery because we will be able to tell our patients, ’There’s going to be less thermal injury with the wound. It’s going to heal nicely. It’s going to look just like an incision made by a scalpel."
-- Kai Ihnken, M.D., Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Valley Medical Center, San Jose, Calif., and Clinical Assistant Professor Stanford University School of Medicine
"The reduced surgical smoke with the PEAK PlasmaBlade is an important benefit. Nurses and others are very concerned about whether there is a carcinogenic effect from the surgical smoke they inhale. I was impressed with how much less smoke and smell there was with the PEAK PlasmaBlade."
-- Steven M. Schwartz, M.D., Cardiothoracic Surgeon, San Jose Cardiac Surgery Group, Campbell, Calif., and Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Gatos, Calif.
"I like the fact that the PEAK PlasmaBlade cuts in a fluid-filled field. It does not lose cutting and coagulation performance in these cases, and this is very beneficial."
-- Teresa Knight, M.D., Obstetrician/Gynecologist, St. John's Mercy Medical Center, St. Louis
