    PEAK Plasma blade

    PEAK PlasmaBlade electrosurgery scalpel is amazing, disgusting
    http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/08/peak-plasmablade-electrosurgery-scalpel-is-amazing-disgusting/
    Okay, so we're not exactly doctors, but we couldn't help but be intrigued by PEAK Surgical's announcement today that its PlasmaBlade electrosurgery scalpel had completed preclinical testing with positive results. Unlike traditional electrosurgery tools like the bovie cutter, the PlasmaBlade operates at low temperatures, using pulsed plasma energy to cut tissue and control bleeding. Then, stupidly, we watched the video. Let's just say now that it no longer matters to us that surgeons using the PEAK PlasmaBlade produce "minimal collateral damage" to tissue and that bleeding was reduced. Sure, it's great for the surgeons, but our eyes? Not going to be the same.

    Watch the video.

          That is mildly gross. Cool though.

              Definitely very cool, amazing technology.

              Until it malfunctions while you're being operated on and puts a hole through you, the operating table, and the next 3 floors of the hospital. :D
