Element Six公司开发出钻石整容手术刀

 
一种新型钻石解剖刀被设计用于整容外科手术，比最好的钢制刀刃更加锋利，而且确保外科医生能够更加精确的切割和操作。

这种解剖刀是Element Six B.V. (Cuijk, The Netherlands)公司研制开发的。该公司将一种特殊的LeurLock手柄和刀刃收缩的机械装置整合到钻石解剖刀中，保证了在传统手术设备清洗机器中能够进行清洗和消毒。对这种刀刃可以反复清洗和消毒，而不会损伤锋利的刀锋，从而降低每次整容手术的成本。

许多外科医生反应这种新型解剖刀在进行切割的时候提供了最高水平的可操作性。“在乳房固定术、眼睑整容术、和腹部手术中，已经证明这些解剖刀性能优越。”Element Six公司总经理Paul Dankers说。

Element Six是一家世界级的工业用途的合成钻石生产商。该公司在化学蒸汽沉积(CVD)钻石工艺方面处于领先地位，为合成钻石在传统研磨用途之外，拓展了新的用途。

Diamond Cosmetic Scalpels
 
New diamond scalpels designed for cosmetic surgery are much sharper than the best steel blades and, as a result, they ensure that the surgeon can make incisions with extreme precision and excellent maneuverability.

The scalpels were developed by Element Six B.V. (Cuijk, The Netherlands). The company has incorporated a special LeurLock handle and a bayonet mechanism for blade retraction into the diamond cosmetic scalpel, enabling thorough cleaning and sterilization in a conventional surgical instrument washing machine. The ability to repeatedly clean and sterilize the blade without the risk of damaging the extremely sharp edge results in a cosmetic surgery blade having the lowest cost per procedure.

Many surgeons have reported that this new scalpel gives an extreme level of maneuverability in making an incision. “These scalpels have already been demonstrated to deliver excellent performance during mastopexy, blepharoplasty, and abdominoplasty,” said Paul Dankers, general manager, Element Six.

Element Six is one of the world’s leading producers of synthetic diamonds for industrial use. The company has pioneered the development of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond technology, opening up many new applications outside the traditional abrasive uses of synthetic diamonds.
