Keith Jeffcoat shares the foundation of Planatome ‘s core technology, how it differs from traditional mechanical approaches, and why that distinction matters for the future of medical devices.

In this clip, Tim Tobin discusses how Planatome’s nano-polishing technology has expanded beyond blades into higher-value surgical instruments and platforms where clinical and economic differentiation matter most.

The future of surgical performance will not be defined by the instrument alone, but by the quality of the cutting surface at the point of contact.

While many devices may perform adequately for one or two uses, they often experience significant degradation in performance thereafter, creating operational and clinical challenges. In this video, Tim Tobin addresses the urgency of this issue and outlines why sustained instrument performance remains a critical priority for healthcare providers today.

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.
