The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel can be used cold, but when heated it does what no cold blade can — it reduces bleeding by as much as 60 percent by sealing the blood vessels along an incision.

The benefits of true tactile feedback, combined with a razor sharp blade and instantaneous hemostatis are evident when compared to cold steel or traditional electrocautery. The end result is a dryer, safer surgical field with less disruption and stimulation to critical structures. |
The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System offers the precision and true tactile feedback of a cold scalpel and the simultaneous hemostasis of electrocautery.
The temperature of the Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel's razor-sharp, non-stick blade can be adjusted from 70° to 300° at the touch of a button, producing a thin collagenous layer that seals sensitive tissues. This feature minimizes the risks of edema and infection and cuts time in the operating room by as much as 20 percent by creating cleaner, drier fields of operation.
With the Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel, hemostasis is affected almost instantly, limiting the tissue damage that occurs when using conventional electrosurgical devices that char with temperatures as high as 1000° C.
The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel is also unlike conventional electrocautery devices in that it is safe to use around pacemakers and cochlear implants because no current passes through the patient during its use. It does not cause muscle stimulation or create electrical arcs that can damage critical collateral tissues.

Conventional ESUs produce tissue damage from temperatures as high as 1000° C. |
A collagenous layer approximately 1 mm thick is formed by the heated Hemostatix blade, effecting hemostasis almost instantly. |
