Planatome

Through the growing presence of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), variability is now being shifted from the surgeon’s hand to being concentrated at the instrument-to-tissue interface, where microscopic differences in edge geometry and surface condition directly influence how the tissue responds.
Building on this understanding, surgical robotic systems excel at reproducing identical movements across procedures, surgeons, and care sites. However, they do not compensate for imperfections in the cutting surface itself. Variability at this level compounds as procedure volume increases, as workflows are standardized, and as technologies are deployed across multi-site health systems. Small inconsistencies that may have been manageable in manual surgery become consequential when scaled through platforms.

This before-and-after represents a set of devices from a clinical facility making the switch to Planatome and shows the difference between restoration and setting a new level of performance. After extended clinical use, this osteotome developed a curved over edge that made it not clinically usable. Traditional sharpening typically restores worn surfaces. Planatome advances them. Each instrument is refined at the near-atomic level to reestablish true edge geometry, remove defects invisible to the human eye, and deliver performance beyond new, supporting cleaner cuts, reduced tissue trauma, and lasting reliability. We appreciate the care team for their diligence in protecting patients and for trusting Planatome as they transition their instruments to a higher standard of performance.

Current sharpening services continue to rely on century-old surface restoration methods like diamond grinding and coarse abrasion. Over time, micro-abrasions, burrs, and inconsistent grinds accumulate, causing increased tissue drag, faster dulling, and poor performance.

is changing the way the industry services surgical instruments by bringing semiconductor-level precision to a process that hasn’t evolved in over a century.

Approximately 1 in 10 people live with diabetes. For them, every surgical incision carries a higher risk of slow healing and complications.

Planatome’s precision-surface technology has been shown to create cleaner incisions that reduce tissue trauma and promote faster, healthier healing. The result is better patient outcomes, even in conditions where healing is compromised.

Proud to support the .flap.course, giving the next generation of surgeons access to the most advanced instruments, eliminating the barriers of traditional cutting tools, and elevating outcomes in reconstructive surgery.

isn’t changing the tools, we are changing the outcomes.

Surgical instruments may look the same on the outside, but what happens at the cutting edge makes all the difference. Planatome’s nano-polish delivers unmatched precision, reducing tissue trauma and accelerating healing.

Fewer complications. Less scarring. Better patient results.

We Don’t Invent Surgical Instruments, We Perfect Them!

Optimize the precision of your surgical cutting instruments with nano-polishing for an ultra-smooth, near molecular-perfect edge that enhances cutting efficiency and durability. Nano-polishing minimizes micro-serrations, reducing tissue trauma and ensuring clean, controlled incisions. From routine maintenance to full-edge restoration, our expert sharpening service delivers unparalleled precision and reliability, helping surgeons perform with confidence.
