For tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy procedures, the PEAK PlasmaBlade® TnA Dissection Device offers the precision of a scalpel and bleeding control of traditional electrosurgery without the extensive collateral tissue damage.1-3
PEAK PlasmaBlade® TnA Dissection Device
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy procedures have been shown to reduce obstructive sleep apnea symptoms.4,5 The disposable, low-temperature PEAK PlasmaBlade TnA Tissue Dissection Device is designed for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgeries (pharyngeal, tubal, and palatine).
As a cutting and coagulation tool, the PEAK PlasmaBlade TnA Device offers the precision of a scalpel and the bleeding control of traditional electrosurgery without the extensive collateral tissue damage.1-3 It features interchangeable tips specially designed for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy procedures.
The malleable tonsil tip is anatomically contoured for ultra precise tonsil dissection and coagulation, while the bendable adenoid tip enables quick, precise debulking and coagulation of the adenoid.

Other Indications for the PEAK PlasmaBlade Surgery System
Additional handpieces are available for the PEAK PlasmaBlade Surgery System that may be used for orthopaedic, spinal, general, and reconstructive plastic surgery.
Based on innovative proprietary technology, the PEAK PlasmaBlade® Surgery System is an important advance in radiofrequency (RF) surgical technologies.
The PEAK PlasmaBlade Difference
Most electrosurgical cutting tools use continuous RF waveforms that thermally vaporize soft tissue through Joule heating and an electrical arc. This results in cutting and coagulation that leaves a wide zone of collateral thermal tissue damage.
Tonsil tip
The PEAK PlasmaBlade device receives RF energy in short pulses via a highly insulated cutting electrode, so it cuts at a much lower average temperature than conventional electrosurgery.4
PEAK PlasmaBlade Technology Delivers Less Energy
Highly Insulated Tips
The tonsil tip is 99.5% insulated with Thermal Protection Shield (TPS) Insulation technology that significantly reduces collateral damage1-3
Coag tip
Pulsed Waveforms
PEAK PlasmaBlade’s waveforms are pulsed to deliver less energy than a continuous waveform
Plasma
Plasma is an electrically conductive cloud comprising water vapor and ions
Plasma occurs when RF energy contacts tissue
