PEAK Surgical Receives 510(k) Clearance to Market PEAK(R) Surgery System for Use in General Surgery
Date:7/24/2008

Study Results

Results of a preclinical surgical incision healing study of the PlasmaBlade presented in an oral presentation at the American College of Surgeons' Annual Clinical Congress in October 2007 demonstrated that it efficiently cut tissue with effective bleeding control and minimal thermal damage compared with standard surgical techniques. The PlasmaBlade reduced bleeding by 60 percent compared with a scalpel, while providing the same positive wound healing profile of minimal scarring and inflammation. In addition, surgical incision healing and strength were significantly improved with the PlasmaBlade compared with traditional electrosurgical devices.

Additional preclinical studies of the PEAK Surgery System are underway. PEAK Surgical is exploring the applicability of its technology across numerous surgical fields beyond general surgery, including cardiothoracic, gynecologic, plastic and reconstructive and neurosurgery. The company believes the technology may have applications in more than 2 million surgical procedures each year.

About PEAK Surgical, Inc.

PEAK Surgical, Inc. is a medical device company that has developed the PEAK(R) Surgery System, a new tissue dissection system based on a proprietary technology that represents an evolutionary leap in the advancement of radiofrequency surgical technologies. The PEAK Surgery System consists of the PEAK PlasmaBlade(TM) 4.0, a disposable cutting tool that offers the exacting control of a scalpel and the bleeding control of traditional electrosurgery without the extensive collateral damage, and the PULSAR(TM) Generator, which supplies pulsed plasma radiofrequency energy to the PlasmaBlade. The PEAK Surgery System is cleared for use in general surgery in the United States. The company is exploring the applicability of this technology across additional surgical fields, including cardiothoracic, gynecologic, plastic and reconstructive, and neurosurgery.
