The aim of the present study was to evaluate the histological results of the Onemytis plasma surgery device with Airplasma technology. We compared the efficacy and the effect on tissues of the new plasma electrocoagulation system with electrosurgery and a scalpel blade. Samples of healthy skin tissue from four dogs that underwent mastectomy were evaluated. Three different incision modes were used, i.e., a cold blade, electrosurgery, and the Onemytis plasma scalpel were evaluated histologically to assess invasiveness and tissue injuries at different distances from the cutting surface. The histological examinations showed moderate necrosis caused by Onemytis, compared to the use of the more invasive electrosurgery, which induces thermal damage that extends beyond 1000 µm. Our study shows that the use of the plasma scalpel reduces the extension of the thermal lesion on the skin compared to an electrosurgical scalpel.
本研究的目的是评估采用空气等离子体技术的Onemytis等离子体手术设备的组织学结果。我们将新型等离子体电凝系统与电外科手术和手术刀刀片在疗效及对组织的影响方面进行了比较。对四只接受乳房切除术的犬的健康皮肤组织样本进行了评估。使用了三种不同的切口模式，即冷刀、电外科手术以及Onemytis等离子体手术刀，并进行组织学评估，以评估距切割表面不同距离处的侵袭性和组织损伤。组织学检查显示，与使用更具侵袭性的电外科手术相比，Onemytis造成的坏死程度为中度，电外科手术会引起超过1000微米的热损伤。我们的研究表明，与电外科手术刀相比，使用等离子体手术刀可减少皮肤热损伤的范围。
