What is the simple difference between aquamantys and plasmablade

Need a simple answer here for our hospital board.

What is the difference between aquamantys and plasmablade?

 

cut vs coagulate

 

This is how your “board” makes clinical decisions? That is fucked up. I hope I’m never a patient at your “hospital”.

 

The short answer is that the Aquamantys is a bipolar sealer and the Plasmablade is a monopolar cutter
