  • Patent number: 8512325
    Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical dissection system and method that employs an ultrasonic waveform that provides improved dissection of tissue while simultaneously providing improved hemostasis is disclosed. The disclosed system provides an ultrasonic waveform that includes a carrier frequency that may be pulse modulated at a predetermined rate and/or duty cycle. Embodiments are presented wherein the disclosed system provides an ultrasonic waveform having a frequency modulated carrier frequency. Additionally or alternatively, the disclosed waveform may be amplitude modulated. In yet another embodiment, an amplitude modulation of the ultrasonic signal may be synchronized, at least in part, with a frequency modulation of the ultrasonic signal. The frequency modulation and/or amplitude modulation may include continuously variable modulations and/or substantially instantaneous transitions between a first frequency and a second frequency and/or a first amplitude and a second amplitude.
