IntroductionThe ultrasonic surgical shear is a handheld, gun-type ultrasonic energy instrument designed to cut and coagulate tissue with minimal lateral thermal spread and rapid response for precise control.
OverviewThe Ultrasonic surgical shear (gun-type) integrates a small-amplitude, high-frequency ultrasonic actuator in an ergonomic handpiece. It supports seal-and-cut tissue division for minimally invasive and open procedures as part of a surgical energy platform.
Key features- Small-amplitude, high-frequency ultrasonic operation
- Instant acceleration and rapid response for precise dissection
- Seal-and-cut capability for simultaneous cutting and coagulation
- Gun-type ergonomic handpiece for surgeon control
- Compatible with minimally invasive (laparoscopic) and open surgical workflows
Clinical applications- Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery
- Open soft-tissue surgical procedures requiring hemostasis
- Cases where reduced lateral thermal spread is preferred
Benefits- Precise tissue division with integrated coagulation
- Reduced lateral thermal damage compared with some alternative energy sources
- Ergonomic design to support surgeon handling and control
- Designed to improve procedural efficiency and patient outcomes
Technical specifications- Actuation: small-amplitude, high-frequency ultrasonic actuator
- Primary function: tissue cutting and coagulation (seal-and-cut)
- Form factor: gun-type handheld instrument
- Intended use: minimally invasive and open surgical procedures
- Clinical goals: precise dissection, reliable hemostasis, reduced thermal spread
