�e PEAK Surgery System consists of the PULSAR Generator, optional wireless footswitch, cart, and PEAK PlasmaBlade.
Plasma discharge along the exposed electrode edge, which is 99.5% insulated.
�e PULSAR Generator features a“plug-n-play”, user-friendly interface.
THE PEAK® SURGERY SYSTEM DELIVERS SUPERIOR CUTTING AND COAGULATIONWITH MINIMAL THERMAL DAMAGE.
THE PULSE OF PRECISION.
�e PEAK Surgery System is not yet available in the U.S.PEAK Surgical is in the process of filing pre-market notification with the FDA.
PEAK Demonstrates Faster, Stronger Healing in Preclinical StudiesIn preclinical study data presented at the American College of Surgeons Annual Clinical Meeting in October 2007, the PEAK PlasmaBlade showed better wound healing than traditional electrosurgery (Bovie).
Wound HealingPEAK's wound-healing benefits include: 71% less bleeding than a scalpel, with no increase in collateral damage Significantly less thermal damage than a Bovie Stronger wound healing than a Bovie, with less scarring
Wound StrengthWounds from PEAK healed as quickly as a scalpel—and, after 6 weeks, were 3 times stronger than a Bovie.

For decades, surgeons have relied on scalpels to cut skin and
delicate tissues and on electrosurgical devices to cut and coagulate
fat and other thicker, tougher tissues. �e inherent tradeoff is
that scalpels cut very precisely but do not control bleeding, while
electrosurgical devices cut and control bleeding but damage
surrounding tissue. PEAK’s technology bridges this gap by providing
the benefits of both approaches.
PEAK Surgical’s next-generation tissue dissection system has
distinct advantages over today’s prevailing surgical instruments.
�e company’s unique technology enables ultra-precise tissue
dissection and coagulation while significantly minimizing thermal
spread and collateral tissue damage. �is unparalleled combination
provides significant benefits for both surgeons and patients.
�e company’s flagship product, the PEAK Surgery System,
balances a power source—the PULSAR Generator™—with a series
of disposable devices—the PEAK PlasmaBlades™—to address a
broad range of surgical applications.
PEAK’s pulsed plasma and electrode insulation technologies were
originally developed at Stanford University. PEAK Surgical, Inc.
now has the worldwide rights to apply these technologies to all
surgical fields.
“With the PlasmaBlade, tissue looks healthier, with no char. �e thermal damage we typically see with traditional tools has been eliminated.”

PEAK Technology Overview�e PEAK Surgery System strikes a unique balance between precise cutting and bleeding control.
PEAK’s pulsed plasma technology enables surgeons to cut straight through from skin to fat to muscle, while dialing in the desired degree of coagulation and controlling collateral tissue damage.
With a single system, you can: Cut precisely through any type of tissue Fine tune the amount of bleeding control to the target tissue— effectively minimizing thermal damage.
As a result, you get unparalleled control and procedure efficiency. Preclinical studies1 have revealed: Reduced scarring Stronger wound healing Increased cutting speed and precision Significant bleeding control
A New Kind of Balancing ActPEAK’s technology balances a powerful, pulsed plasma generator with highly insulated electrodes on a handheld device.
“�e PEAK Surgical System represents a quantum leap in technology.It cuts like a knife with minimal scarring and collateral damage.And it eliminates the time and confusion from using two separateinstruments to precisely cut delicate tissues and to control bleeding.”
�omas Krummel, MD, Professor and Chair of Surgery,Stanford University Medical School
�e PEAK PlasmaBlade offers you the closest thing to an optimal cut:
Precision. Bleeding control. Low thermal damage.
