The PlasmaJet has been used in over 200 liver and general surgery operations to date, both in open and laparoscopic approaches. It offers important benefits to surgeons and their patients:

• Coagulation of large dissection and resection surfaces to prevent subsequent hematoma or fluid collections
• Control of biliary leakage
• Quick and effective coagulation of resected parenchyma
• Drying and cleansing tumor beds
• Safe hemostasis of the diaphragm in posterior tumor resections
• More cost effective than biological glue
• Very effective on the spleen and pancreas
• Easy preparation of donor liver for transplantation with minimal damage to tissue surface
