General Surgery

These diamond scalpels can be used for over 50 operations and repaired once. Due
to the extreme hardness of diamond, the cutting edges of the Element Six Diamond Scal-
pels are very sharp and therefore cut tissue more easily. They also give better control and
more accuracy, as the tissue resistance is very low, resulting in a complete absence of
drag. Surgeons who have used Element Six Diamond Scalpels see improved wound heal-
ing, better cosmetic results and reduced scar formation. This is related to the fact that with
the sharper cutting edge there is less tissue damage caused by crushing or tearing than
with comparable steel scalpels.

Surgeons have remarked that in certain procedures the more precise cutting of the
Element Six Diamond Scalpels has led to reduced operating times. Complex cutting pro-
cedures can be carried out more quickly and with fewer extra instruments. At this moment
leading surgeons are carrying out research to quantify the observed advantages of Ele-
ment Six Diamond Scalpels.
