PhotonBlade 3 SE
Our goal is zero surgical smoke
It can be hard to see past the smoke, with 500,000 healthcare workers exposed to harmful surgical plume every year.¹ That’s why we’re adding an advanced monopolar energy device with integrated smoke evacuation to our comprehensive portfolio.
Everything has been leading to this point.
The precise cutting you trust from PhotonBlade. Smoke evacuation and illumination, working as one. It all comes together in the next generation design. PhotonBlade 3 Smoke Evacuation (SE) advanced monopolar energy is everything you need in one innovative tool.
Surgeons rated PhotonBlade 3 SE 4.8 out of 5 in a blinded study.2
PhotonBlade 3 SE average illuminance (lux) in the extended position is 2.5x greater than Plasmablade X.3
Thermal spread and surrounding tissue damage were rated 4.5 out of 5 in a blinded study.4
Up to 97% of smoke5 can be removed right at the electrode tip to help keep the OR smoke-free.

Learn more about the features and benefits of PhotonBlade 3 SE.
PhotonBlade 3 SE is compatible with our Neptune waste management system, SafeAir compact smoke evacuator, and all IEC 60601-compliant electrosurgical generators with a standard 3 prong plug.6 It also offers a variety of settings and modes across a range of full-featured Electrosurgical Units (ESUs).
PhotonBlade 3 SE
Now joining the Journey to Zero* surgical smoke
A) Illumination and integrated smoke evacuation
Self-contained illumination eliminates the need for an additional light source while the device is in use. The electrode tip captures smoke directly where it's generated, helping to keep the operating room clear.
B) Electrode
Delivers precise energy now with an anti-char coating.
C) Telescopic shaft
Fully rotatable extendable shaft reaches the small surgical pocket. (2–5in/5–12 cm)
D) Ergonomic
Shape, size, grip, and styling are all improved for a better overall feel.
E) Light switch
Provides the user with the option to illuminate the surgical site.
F) Pre-stretched tubing
Light and pre-stretched tubing for ease of motion and tangle-free cord management.
