What is it indicated for?

The Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System Handles and Blades are a surgical instrument designed to retain the precise, clean cutting characteristics of a traditional stainless steel scalpel and to minimize blood loss by simultaneously sealing blood vessels as they are cut with minimal tissue damage and virtually no muscle stimulation, using heat thermally conducted to the tissue from an elevated temperature blade.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
