SURGERY BY ELECTRIC
KNIFE is ON TRIAL

Beriin-Surgery by electricity Is what
is alleged TO be possible with q remark
able electric knife just devised by a Ber-
lin firm of medical instrument manufac-
turers. The knife is now undergoing ex-
haustive trials at the hands of Professor
Bier. the head of the University Surgical
Clinic, with the view of demonstrating
its efficacy.
1t is declared that operations can be
performed more quickly and that the
healing process is more rapid than in the
case where the ordinary scalpel has been
used.
TO one end of a six or eight-inch glass
rod, through the center of which passes
a conducting wire, is fastened the blade
without a cutting edge, of a form similar
to that of the commonly used surgical
knives, or like the simple probe. A high
frequency current is employed and when
this is turned on a noiseless spark half
an inch long appears from the point of
the knife or probe. The spark incises the
soft tissues with the same ease as a hot
knife goes through butter, without any
apparent cauterization, but Professor
Bier's experiments have SO far shown that
a more ~profuse hemorrhage ensues than
by the use of the common knife.
1t is further claimed for the instru-
ment that it stGT!i:zes as it cuts, requires
no sharpening and can be easily Leaned.
