The Thunderbeat Open Fine Jaw surgical tissue management system combines a high-frequency current with ultrasonic technology and can cut as well as seal tissue and vessels in a single step. The scissor grip ensures precise operation. The reduced weight and optimised point of balance within the palm of the hand prevents fatigue. The instrument’s curved, fine tip enables precise tissue dissection.
Statement by the Jury
The individual areas of this tissue management system are clearly delineated, and sophisticated ergonomics significantly reduce the load on the hand.
