Publication number: 20160325121Abstract: An energy supplier of an ultrasonic treatment system can output an electric power in a first output mode and a second output mode in which the electric power supplied to a drive force generation unit during a unit time is higher than in the first output mode. A controller maintains an output state of the electric power in the first output mode when a judgment section judges that a load on an ultrasonic probe is less than or equal to a threshold, and switches the output state of the electric power to the second output mode when the judgment section judges that the load is more than the first threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Applicant: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Ko KAWASHIMA, Hideto YOSHIMINE

Patent number: 7507212Abstract: An ultrasonic treatment device comprises a handpiece having an ultrasonic transducer and a long axial probe whose base end is connected with the transducer. The device further comprises a tubular inner sheath covering the probe and an outer sheath covering the inner sheath with a predetermined annular space left therebetween. The space between the sheaths is used as a suction path for mist. For the suction, the device further comprises a base-end sealing member made of an elastic material, disposed on a base-end side of the outer sheath and engaged detachably with the inner sheath to seal a gap formed with the inner sheath. A suction unit is disposed on the base-end side of the outer sheath. The suction unit sucks in mist to be generated when ultrasonic treatment is performed, through the suction path, and discharged outside.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2005Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Olympus CorporationInventors: Tomoyuki Tsuchiya, Hideto Yoshimine
