Gruesome-yet-awesome plasma scalpel
May 21st, 2008
Here’s a video you shouldn’t watch too soon after breakfast: the PEAK Wound Healing revolution. If you’re tired of a razor scalpel (so primitive!) or a cauterising scalpel (it’s just a soldering iron!), PEAK have developed the highly kick-ass “plasmablade”. Although it looks like a coffee stirrer, be warned – this little tyke will slice through skin and sub-dermal fat like a hot knife through skin and sub-dermal fat. But better. Gruesome-yet-awesome video via the link below.

Dammit! I have a vague memory of my laptop crashing when I was editing this article, and then I got distracted and never fixed it. I’m fairly sure I was drinking at the time.
Anyway, it’s fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up.

It almost looks like you can buy it off of Ebay.

Seeing as this page and the video are being found in the search engines, some may want to learn more about it.
