Description

An ultrasonic dissection and coagulation system for surgical use is provided. The system includes an ultrasonic instrument, a control module, and a handle actuator. The ultrasonic actuator has a housing and an elongated body portion extending from the housing. An ultrasonic transducer supported within the housing is operatively connected to a cutting blade by a vibration coupler. The vibration coupler conducts high frequency vibration from the ultrasonic transducer to the cutting blade. The cutting blade has a cutting surface which is angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body portion and, thus, with respect to the axis of vibration. A clamp member having a tissue contact surface is positioned adjacent to the blade member and is movable from an open position in which the tissue contact surface is spaced from the cutting surface to a clamped position in which the tissue contact surface is in close juxtaposed alignment with the cutting surface to clamp tissue therebetween. The clamp member and the angled blade combine to enhance contact between tissue and the cutting surface of the blade member.

On décrit un système de dissection et de coagulation ultrasonique, utile en chirurgie et qui comprend un instrument ultrasonique, un module de commande, ainsi qu'un dispositif actionneur à levier, présentant un logement ainsi qu'une portion de corps de forme allongée s'étendant à partir du logement. Un transducteur ultrasonique, supporté dans le logement, est relié de manière opérationnelle à une lame coupante par un coupleur de vibrations. Ce dernier dirige des vibrations hautes fréquences, du transducteur vers la lame coupante. La lame coupante présente une surface coupante faisant un angle avec l'axe longitudinal du corps de forme allongée, et ainsi, avec l'axe des vibrations. Un élément de serrage présentant une surface de contact avec des tissus est placé au voisinage de la lame et est mobile entre une position ouverte, dans laquelle sa surface de contact avec les tissus est espacée de la surface coupante, et une position de serrage dans laquelle sa surface de contact est alignée sur la surface de coupe et en étroite juxtaposition avec celle-ci, afin de serrer le tissu entre ces surfaces. L'élément de serrage et la lame se combinent afin d'accroître le contact entre le tissu et la surface de coupe de la lame.
