Apparatus includes a magnetostrictive actuator of a medical ultrasound transducer assembly. The actuator compris-es a magnetostrictive alloy chosen from a list. A medical ultrasound handpiece includes an ultrasound transducer assembly adapt-ed to attachingly receive an end effector. The transducer assembly includes a magnetostrictive actuator having a magnetostrictive alloy, and includes a first coil surrounding the actuator and adapted to excite the actuator to substantially a desired medical reso-nant frequency and substantially a desired medical amplitude. A medical ultrasound system includes a handpiece housing, a first medical ultrasound transducer assembly, and a first medical end effector attachable to the first transducer assembly. The first transducer assembly includes a magnetostrictive first actuator having a first magnetostrictive alloy. At least a portion of the first transducer assembly is attachingly insertable in the handpiece housing without the use of tools, without damaging the handpiece housing, and without damaging the first transducer assembly.

L'invention concerne un appareil comprenant un actionneur magnétostrictif dun ensemble transducteur ultrasonique médical. Lactionneur comporte un alliage magnétostrictif choisi dans une liste. Un instrument ultrasonique médical à main comprend un ensemble transducteur ultrasonique prévu pour recevoir un effecteur terminal qui sy fixe. Lensemble transducteur comprend un actionneur magnétostrictif doté dun alliage magnétostrictif, ainsi quune première bobine entourant lactionneur et prévue pour exciter lactionneur sensiblement jusquà une fréquence résonante médicale souhaitée et sensiblement jusquà une amplitude médicale souhaitée. Un système ultrasonique médical comprend un boîtier dinstrument à main, un premier ensemble transducteur ultrasonique médical et un premier effecteur terminal médical pouvant se fixer au premier ensemble transducteur. Ledit premier ensemble transducteur comprend un premier actionneur magnétostrictif doté dun premier alliage magnétostrictif. Au moins une partie du premier ensemble transducteur peut être insérée dans le boîtier dinstrument à main en sy fixant sans utiliser doutils, sans endommager le boîtier dinstrument à main et sans endommager le premier ensemble transducteur.
