一種新型鉆石解剖刀被設(shè)計(jì)用于整容外科手術(shù)，比最好的鋼制刀刃更加鋒利，而且確保外科醫(yī)生能夠更加精確的切割和操作。

這種解剖刀是Element Six B.V. (Cuijk, The Netherlands)公司研制開發(fā)的。該公司將一種特殊的LeurLock手柄和刀刃收縮的機(jī)械裝置整合到鉆石解剖刀中，保證了在傳統(tǒng)手術(shù)設(shè)備清洗機(jī)器中能夠進(jìn)行清洗和消毒。對這種刀刃可以反復(fù)清洗和消毒，而不會(huì)損傷鋒利的刀鋒，從而降低每次整容手術(shù)的成本。

許多外科醫(yī)生反應(yīng)這種新型解剖刀在進(jìn)行切割的時(shí)候提供了最高水平的可操作性。“在乳房固定術(shù)、眼瞼整容術(shù)、和腹部手術(shù)中，已經(jīng)證明這些解剖刀性能優(yōu)越。”Element Six公司總經(jīng)理Paul Dankers說。

Element Six是一家世界級(jí)的工業(yè)用途的合成鉆石生產(chǎn)商。該公司在化學(xué)蒸汽沉積(CVD)鉆石工藝方面處于領(lǐng)先地位，為合成鉆石在傳統(tǒng)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.
