  • Abstract
    The hand-held plasma surgical-tools were introduced for immediate cauterization and incision1. It achieves fast coagulation with minimal tissue damage. The plasma surgery may offer a few advantages over both electro-surgery and argon-enhanced coagulation. However, the plasma surgery at the moment is used restrictively with a fine jet of pure plasma for coagulation and for tissue cutting by exposure to plasma.
