Personna Medical Showcases The DermaBlade Shave Biopsy Instrument At The Pri-Med West Conference & Exhibition

Verona, VA /PRNewswire/ - Personna Medical, a leading provider of high quality blades for medical applications, announced today that it will showcase the world's premier shave biopsy instrument, the Personna DermaBlade® at the Pri-Med West Conference & Exhibition in Anaheim, California (May 1-4, 2013 - Booth # 957). The DermaBlade, invented by dermatologist, Dr. Robert Segal , is a flexible, sterile instrument specifically designed for cutaneous surgery. The sharpness, flexibility and performance of the DermaBlade makes the process of skin biopsy safer for the patient and much simpler than other methods.

 Long known for high quality manufacturing and edge quality, Personna Medical will feature the DermaBlade at its interactive trial station, enabling Pri-Med West attendees to experience the Personna DermaBlade difference first hand. The DermaBlade is sterile, disposable, very flexible yet super sharp, featuring Microcoat® coating technology that helps minimize patient trauma and scarring. It can be used for removal of skin protuberances, saucerization of flat lesions, and shave biopsy at any level of the dermis.

Bob Senesac , Director of Marketing at Personna said, "Once a user tries DermaBlade, they stay with DermaBlade and ask for it by name" adding, "the simplicity of the product, its performance and the positive impact on patient results, sets it apart. While other products make similar claims, their products simply cannot match the DermaBlade."

In addition to the DermaBlade, Personna will demonstrate many of its other products, including stainless double edge blades, prep razors and pathology blades made for the needs of today's primary care physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

"Clearly, the number of skin biopsy procedures being done is growing and we're working hard to deliver products that dermatologists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants can rely on every day.  In addition to providing attendees the opportunity to test our current products, we will have the opportunity to gain insights into their clinical needs, helping us design our next generation solutions and products," added Mr. Senesac.
