  • Ultrasonic surgical tool system including a tip capable of simultaneous longitudinal and torsional movement and a console capable of applying a drive signal to the tip so the tip engages in substantially torsional oscillations
    Patent number: 11812986
    Abstract: An ultrasonic tool system with a console and a tip that has a distal end that when vibrated vibrates both longitudinally and torsionally. The console applies a drive signal to the drivers that vibrate the tip that is at a longitudinal mechanical cancellation frequency. Consequently, when the tip is vibrated, at the distal end the longitudinal component of a first resonant mode of the tip cancel out the longitudinal component of the second resonant move of the tip so the distal end of the tip engages in vibrations that substantially torsional and only minimally longitudinal.
