Pulsed electron avalanche knife (PEAK) PlasmaBlade™ in pacemaker and defibrillator procedures
BACKGROUND The pulsed electron avalanche knife (PEAK) PlasmaBlade™ is an innovative electrosurgical device that uses a novel technology to cut tissues. It has been proven to be safe and feasible in ear, nose, and throat surgery, but there are only limited data concerning the use of PlasmaBlade™ instead of conventional electrocautery in cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures exc...
متن کاملPulsed electron avalanche knife (PEAK) for intraocular surgery.
PURPOSE To develop a better and more economical instrument for precise, tractionless, "cold" cutting during intraocular surgery. The use of highly localized electric fields rather than laser light as the means of tissue dissection was investigated. METHODS A high electric field at the tip of a fine wire can, like lasers, initiate plasma formation. Micrometer-length plasma streamers are genera...
متن کاملPulsed electron avalanche knife in vitreoretinal surgery.
PURPOSE To evaluate the advantages, disadvantages, safety, and surgical applicability of the pulsed electron avalanche knife (PEAK-fc), a new electrosurgical knife for "cold" and tractionless cutting, in vitreoretinal surgery. PEAK-fc is equipped with an integrated fiberoptic that makes bimanual procedures in intraocular surgery possible. METHODS A prospective consecutive trial of 18 eyes in ...
متن کاملPulsed electron avalanche knife (PEAK-fc) for dissection of retinal tissue.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and precision of tractionless retinal tissue dissection by the advanced version of the pulsed electron avalanche knife for fine cutting (PEAK-fc; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). METHODS Porcine retina (in vivo) and human retina (in vitro) were incised with the PEAK-fc using various pulse parameters. The globes were then processed for light microscop...
متن کاملPulsed electron avalanche knife: new technology for cataract surgery.
BACKGROUND The pulsed electron avalanche knife (PEAK-fc) is a new pulsed electrosurgical device that allows for precise, "cold" and traction-free tissue dissection. AIM To evaluate the surgical applicability, safety and potential complications of PEAK-fc in complicated cataract surgery. METHODS The study included five children with congenital cataracts, two patients with advanced senile cat...
