Multiple, proven recovery benefits

Depending on the cosmetic body procedure, HARMONIC^® Technology may lead to less postoperative pain, drainage, bruising and swelling than plastic surgery procedures without HARMONIC Devices.*^,†

A randomized, prospective, multicenter study showed significant reduction in postoperative pain and drainage in abdominoplasties. Patients in the HARMONIC Technology group reported significantly less postoperative pain than the electrosurgery group in the first two postoperative days. Drainage volume was reduced by 33%, and drain days decreased by 1.4 days.*

HARMONIC Blades offer benefits in plastic surgery.  Three different blade types include:

• HARMONIC SYNERGY^® Curved Blade
• HARMONIC SYNERGY Dissecting Hook
• HARMONIC SYNERGY Combination Hook Blade

Depending on cosmetic body procedure and personal preference, HARMONIC FOCUS^® Curved Shears may also be appropriate.

* In abdominoplasties. From a randomized, prospective, parallel-group study (N=65), mean cumulative serous secretion volume (517.8mL ± 236.0 mL vs 767.5 mL ± 522.7 mL; P=0.009) and the duration of drains (124.5 h ± 44.6 h vs 159.26 h ± 88.5 h; P=0.039) were significantly lower with HARMONIC Technology (n=35) than with electrosurgery (n=30). Patients in the HARMONIC Technology group also reported less postoperative pain than the electrosurgery group, with significant reductions occurring on day 1 (mean pain score: 3.4 vs 2.0; P<0.05) and day 2 (mean pain score: 2.6 vs 1.7; P<0.05). The use of analgesics (opioid and non-opioid) was similar between groups.^1
