* Cost effective
* Reduction in unneeded surgeries
* Focused and timely procedures
* Patient outcomes maximized
* Endoscopic capable]]> 2017-10-15 20:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ehrmanlori1/8amhg54jafg6/wish/197157605 ehrmanlori1 https://padlet.com/ehrmanlori1/8amhg54jafg6/wish/197157847 * Still in Clinical Trials
* Laboratories may lose revenue
* Surgeons may lose procedures and revenue
* Oncologists may lose patients]]> 2017-10-15 20:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ehrmanlori1/8amhg54jafg6/wish/197157847 ehrmanlori1 https://padlet.com/ehrmanlori1/8amhg54jafg6/wish/197158225 There have been times when the quest for automation and speed could have been regarded as a potential hindrance in the relationship between practitioner and patient. The iKnife is an exception that could actually enhance the trusting relationship between a vulnerable patient and their provider. Any person undergoing biopsies in order to rule out or confirm a cancer diagnosis would be comforted and consoled knowing that the provider would be able to know with certainty, in less than 3 seconds, if the breast tissue was indeed cancerous, and if cancerous, which type. 

As a future provider technology of this caliber will allow for quick and effective diagnoses enabling that access to evidence-based treatment can be implemented without hesitation or delay.]]> 2017-10-15 20:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ehrmanlori1/8amhg54jafg6/wish/197158225 ehrmanlori1 https://padlet.com/ehrmanlori1/8amhg54jafg6/wish/197158266
