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!?!?”)*.

the headline on this is blatantly offensive. and i’m not normally one who gets up in arms about such things. self-injury’s not funny. it’s one thing to say “no, i’m not going to put cutter pics behind a link”–i’ve always thought that “triggering” was an overblown concept and that this wasn’t really your responsibility. that doesn’t make it ok to headline a completely unrelated topic with what is, in effect, a taunt to all those who find your treatment of self-injury on this blog to be insensitive at best and criminal at worst (and to be clear–I’m with the “insensitive” people). this is just childish.

That “yellow stuff” or “corn” is fat, guys. Subcutaneous fat, meaning fat under the skin. That’s obvious.

mmm.. tasty bait, AeChei?
i’m kind of amazed it took 50 comments to get a bite; perhaps those who wish to continually complain about the content of someone else’s blog *they’re* choosing to read have finally done the logical thing and GTFO? bah, who am i kidding…

#53 – I assumed that the title referred to the “Jealous cutters” – The surgeons keeping this lovely technology for themselves (By keeping the price high) rather than sharing it with the mod community.
And it looks like a brilliant bit of kit – Let’s hope that the price drops and we see it in use more often…

I can’t help but feels ‘cutters’ in this sense refers to people who are into scarification over self harm, so take your silly self righteousness and gtfo noob, ggthxnore.

The term “cutter” is being used in the classic sense of a practitioner specializing in subincisions and other underground pseudosurgical procedures like that, not in the sense of cutting as in scarification or SI. Sheesh.

LOL to the spanglish comment.
professionalism is a guise.
and so is your judgment.

I’ve called and can’t get through, emailed and had no response. I think the poor buggers are being deluged! I want to know pricing, too.

I showed my mom this (shes a surgeon) and she said it was pretty cool the only concern she would have is more scarring because she says sometimes when the cut is too neat it scars more.

i found that strangely fascinating. i guess i’ve become a little desensitized… *laughs* though i have to admit, the “coldness” of watching a medical infomercial is, i find, more disturbing than looking at the “guess what” pictures that Shannon posts.
i can only imagine the results that the mod community’s more skilled practitioners could turn out if they had access to tools like this.

Wow… now that’s a pretty sweet tool. I’d prefer a much more compact version, personally, and I’ll have to check and see if it’s adjustable enough to be used for mild cautery without literally cutting through tissue like butter. Specifically I’m wondering about useability for impants and such.

Bleh. Not even available in the US yet. Probably won’t be commercially avaialble for the better part of a year.

Wow. That is one neat tool. I would like to try that instead of electrocautery branding, to see if the scar would spread less, possibly allowing for more detailed work. Hmmm…

# 67, that sounds about right and that’s why I thought “Sweet, highly detailed scar pieces!”. From what I’ve studied in forensics, clean cuts don’t have any ragged pieces that can fit themselves together and start healing that way. I think (honestly I don’t know) that if there are no loose ends the body just has to fill the entire cut in with scar tissue. That would be so freaking awesome. I never thought I’d have the balls for scarification but if someone tests this and it works, I’d be first in line.
