The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel provides you the ultimate surgical precision, visualisation and control, maximising your surgical technique and optimising your surgical outcomes safely, without any electric current.

Overview

The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System is a surgical instrument designed to retain the precise, clean cutting characteristics of the traditional steel scalpel while minimizing blood loss by simultaneously sealing blood vessels as they are cut, with minimum damage to surrounding tissue and virtually no muscle stimulation, using heat thermally conducted to the tissue from an elevated temperature blade.

Thermal Scalpel System Description

The Precision 8400 Hemostatix thermal Scalpel System consists of four components:

1. Controller

An electronic power supply/controller that energizes the blade and provides various automatic calibrations, sensing and control functions.
It has user controls with visual and audible indications of instrument status.

2.Multi-use Disposable handle

A multi-use, disposable handle connected to the instrument with a lightweight, flexible electrical cable for holding the disposable scalpel blades. The handle can be used to set the temperature of the blade and to provide a COAG mode when necessary. With proper care, the multi-use, disposable handle can be cleaned and sterilized for re-use.

3. Disposable Blades

Various sizes and shapes of sterile disposable scalpel blades are available which are similar in size and shape to conventional cold-steel scalpel blades. Blades are single use only and should never be reused. The Hemostatix blades incorporate heating and temperature-sensing micro-circuitry which provides heat for hemostasis and sensing feedback to the controller.

4. Foot-switch

The footswitch allows the surgeon to set the desired temperatures of the blades as well as activate CUT or COAG modes. The footswitch has two modes: (1) CUT/COAG and (2) TEMP UP/ DOWN. Switching from mode (1) to mode (2) and vice-versa is controlled by depressing the black MODE button on the top of the footswitch.
