        @Haydn.manutd7 – The i-knife stands for intelligent knife and it essentially provides real time information to the surgeon (during an operation) whether the tissue he is cutting is cancerous or not. It basically helps ensure that all of the tumour is removed during the surgery. There is a wikipedia article on it i believe:)
