With a smooth, sharp blade, there is less tissue trauma during the incision. This is critical, as tissue trauma, with micro-tears from the jagged edge of traditional blades, promotes macrophage density and inflammatory response. This produces more bleeding, more postoperative pain, slower incision closure, and a long-term cosmetic impact from scarring.

Conversely, Planatome surgical blades create less tissue damage, less bleeding, and clean margins. The blades inhibit macrophage density, limit inflammatory response, and, based on results from surgeons using Planatome blades, less scarring.
