In February 2012 we received 510k clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market our J-Plasma™ handpiece with retractable cutting feature for soft tissue coagulation during surgery. The handpiece will be powered by our GS electrosurgical generator, which has prior 510k market clearance.
