Yes. Because our unit produces virtually no peripheral heat or current spread there is no damage to the tissue being harvested. This allows the lab to obtain an accurate biopsy reading. This same technology also allows for graft site harvesting, while maintaining the viability of the tissue. THIS COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DONE WITH A MONOPOLAR ELECTRO SURGICAL UNIT.
