The Science Behind Lubecision
Every claim we make is grounded in published clinical research, recognized guideline compliance, and rigorous performance testing. Explore the evidence that makes Lubecision the trusted choice for surgical teams worldwide.
How Phospholipid Technology Works
Lubecision harnesses the power of naturally occurring phospholipids to create a molecular-level barrier between electrosurgical instruments and tissue.
Electrode Tip
Bare metal surface
Phospholipid Coating
Molecular barrier applied
Tissue Separation
Adhesion prevented
Naturally Occurring Compound
Phospholipids are fatty acids found naturally in every cell membrane of the human body. Our formula leverages this biocompatibility to create a safe, effective coating that the body recognizes as non-foreign.
Molecular-Level Barrier
The phospholipid molecules self-assemble into an ultra-thin, uniform layer on the electrode surface. This nanoscale coating prevents carbonized tissue from bonding to the metal without affecting electrical conductivity.
Sustained Protection
Unlike saline or wax-based alternatives, the phospholipid barrier maintains its protective properties throughout the procedure — especially critical in robotic surgery (da Vinci®) where instrument cleaning requires removal from ports.
Published Clinical Evidence
Our efficacy claims are backed by peer-reviewed, published research in respected medical journals.

Evidence for da Vinci® Applications
Robotic surgery introduces unique electrosurgical challenges that make anti-stick protection especially impactful. The clinical and safety evidence supports Lubecision across all robotic platforms.
Electrosurgical Injury Reports in Robotic Surgery
FDA MAUDE database analysis identified electrosurgical injury reports associated with robotic surgical instruments, including cases linked to micro-cracks in instrument tips and capacitive coupling events. Eschar insulation on instrument surfaces is a contributing factor to stray energy events in robotic procedures.
Lubecision's Role
By preventing eschar accumulation on instrument tips, Lubecision helps maintain consistent current flow and reduces the conditions that contribute to capacitive coupling and stray energy events during robotic procedures.
Robotic Surgery Workflow Impact
Clinical teams using anti-stick phospholipid solutions in robotically assisted laparoscopic cases report significant reductions in tissue sticking and cautery tip charring — key factors that necessitate instrument removal and cleaning during robotic procedures.
“Very time beneficial since we do not have to stop and remove instruments and continually clean them.”

AORN Guideline Compliance
AORN Guideline 3.11.1
Guidelines for Perioperative Practice
“High quality evidence supports the use of an anti-stick phospholipid solution to reduce surgical time.”
— Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN)
What is AORN?
The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) is the leading professional organization for perioperative nurses. Their Guidelines for Perioperative Practice represent the gold standard for evidence-based recommendations in the operating room, influencing hospital purchasing decisions and clinical protocols nationwide.
Why This Matters
AORN guideline compliance is a critical factor in hospital procurement decisions. When AORN recommends a specific solution based on high-quality evidence, it gives surgical teams and purchasing committees the clinical justification to adopt products that demonstrably improve outcomes and efficiency.
