Badur send me a link to a “plasma blade” cutting tool, what seems like a big improvement on various electrocautery-type cutting tools… Should be amazing for procedures like subincisions…
As you can tell from the screenshot, the video is a little gory (Caitlin says “ewww! what is it!!! is it a baked potato with corn in it!?!?”)*.

I don’t think I want to know who/what they’re cutting… I really really, hope it’s not a live animal although I doubt they’d be able to find too many human volunteers for that spot and the skin does look kind of piggy.

I wonder what the price looks like though….

I couldn’t find the price ANYWHERE. Maybe it’s still in testing phases?

That looks like a smoking piece of kit.. I bet it ain’t within the price-range of the majority of sole mod-practitioners yet though.. Meh.

Ex vivo human skin means it’s from a cadaver, ie. a dead body of someone who decided to donate his/her body to science.
In vivo porcine model means it’s on a live pig. Before anyone starts moaning and groaning about cruelty and vivisection, I’m 100% sure it’s under anesthesia. In the USA, any organization whether a university, government, or commercial operation that does experiments on vertebrates has an IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) which has to make sure that the researchers are taking care of animal welfare and minimizing pain. They would NOT let this be done on an awake pig.

In case anyone’s wondering how I know this…it’s because I learned recently how complicated it is to write an animal use protocol that will make an IACUC happy. Not that I’m some kind of sadist who likes torturing animals either, but when you’re designing an experiment it’s easy to forget a lot of things and the purpose of the IACUC is to make sure scientists pull their socks up in terms of welfare.

Wouldn’t “in vivo porcine” mean living pig tissue? I know the other is a cadaver…. but.

Neat…Looks like it could take some time to get used to the long cutting section, kinda like choking up on a baseball bat! I would assume its very expensive.

Ugh, it freaked me out every time you saw the edge of the dead persons tissue for some reason.
