Abstract: As an important tool in surgical operation, surgical electromes are used to perform tissue cutting and hemostasis by discharging arc at the tip of the electromes and generating heat. In the process of surgery, over-high temperature of electromes make the blood and soft tissue dehydrate to form a scab even carbonize. Therefore, the electromes' head are adhered and covered, making a serious impact on the surgical process and medical effects. In order to effectively solve these problems, many scholars at home and abroad carry out studies on the surface adhesion of electrotomes. Some bionic desorption surgical electrotomes with obvious effects of anti-blood, thermolysis, anti-tissue-adhesivity and so on become a research hotspot and an important development direction in this field. The existing desorption electrotomes are classified according to the structural characteristics, and its research and application status are introduced in detail. Then the animal and plant desorption models of bionic electromes are emphatically introduced and analyzed, as well as the manufacturing methods of desorption microstructures on electromes' surface are summarized. Furthermore, the problems on exist the current desorption electromes are analyzed and discussed, and it is also proposed that more endeavors should be attempted to what in the future.
