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 sure hope #20 is right about the live pig stuff. Animal experimentations make me want to cry. Strangely enough, things done to people have no effect on me. Nice device.

Mmmmmmm, that’s a lot of fatty tissue.

#3 I am so confused because i thought clusterphobia was the fear of clusters or crowds what does that have to do with watching a video about cutting some skin open? I’m not trying to be rude or anything but i’m just so confused by that response!!!

It’s a pretty cool tool.

Wow. I just watched this earlier today on Boing Boing while bored at work. I was pretty much amazed at how much better it performed then other similar surgical instruments. This should be a great thing for the future of medicine.
On the topic of fat; I had the privilege to take a field trip to Baldwin Wallace University when I was a senior in high school. Apparently they are one of the few undergrad programs in the nation that does human dissections. I was in awe of the amount of fat under the skin, of even a relatively slender person. It was never anything like I pictured it to be.

How do doctors stay sane watching these marketing videos? The soundtrack makes me want to kill. The device itself seems cool … but if I were a doctor, I’d be more impressed by like, Slayer or something. Cutting corpseflesh to a Metal score would definitely make me want to buy a plasma scalpel.

I’m guessing the reduced scarring could be helpful for things like subs and tongue splits, where the desired end result isn’t giant keloids.

Goddamn, if I can’t have my tongue split with a laser, I’d like to have it done with one of these. Anybody 100% sure on what the legality of splits is these days in the United States of Anti-Surgical Mods?

#34 kaesen – This is a video marketed to people in the medical field. They don’t want scarring. Shannon posted it because it’s interesting to people with our uses. Besides, it could be used for tongue splitting and stuff where you don’t want much scarring.

You still need a $20-50K electrosurgical generator to be able to use it effectivly without errors.
Sounds very similair to the Force TriVerse pencil. Either way, you are still going to need a $20-50k electrosurgical generator to use it effectivly.

I want my tongue split even more now. The scalpel method makes me cringe, though not as much as the electro-cautery.
