ConMed Linvatec COMPETITOR 1 COMPETITOR 2

The XtraSharp™ process is a patented manufacturing technique that uses ECG (Electro-Chemical Grinding)
instead of EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) to put the sharp edge on ConMed Linvatec shaver blades.

Feature: Sharper cutting edge produces cleaner cut and less tearing
Benefit: Less bleeding, better visualization

Feature: Smoother tool surfaces allow for tissue to move away easily from cutting zone
Benefit: Clean distinct tissue bites, fewer semi-attached pieces, less clogging

Many ConMed Linvatec blades come with
conformal coatings on the blade surfaces, which
delivers exceptional performance and reliability for
predictable soft tissue and bone resection.
