Planatome

Planatome, LLC is a medical device technology company based in Phoenix, Arizona, founded in 2017. The company specializes in enhancing surgical cutting instruments through a patented nano-polishing technology derived from the semiconductor industry. Co-founded by Tim Tobin, Planatome's innovative approach significantly reduces surface roughness in surgical blades, achieving near molecular-level perfection. This advancement represents a major leap in surgical blade technology, moving beyond traditional methods that can cause tissue trauma. The flagship product is a nano-polished scalpel blade that provides clean, precise, and low-trauma incisions. Clinical studies show that wounds made with Planatome blades heal 90% within 72 hours, compared to only 10% with standard scalpels. The technology is also being applied to various surgical instruments, including scissors and robotic tools. Planatome offers its nano-polishing technology for licensing to medical device manufacturers, aiming to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs through enhanced surgical performance and faster recovery times.
