What is a harmonic scalpel used for?
THE HARMONIC scalpel is a new device that has been introduced to surgery during the last decade. It is a device that uses high-frequency mechanical energy to cut and coagulate tissues at the same time.
How does Harmonic ACE work?
An advanced ultrasonic algorithm provides the HARMONIC ACE®+7 Shears with the ability to seal vessels up to and including 7 mm in diameter. The system actively monitors the conditions of the tissue within the jaws of the device and responds intelligently to changes in patient tissue conditions.
What is harmonic focus?
Aim: Harmonic Focus (HF) is an ultrasonic device developed most recently for thyroid surgery. Results: When compared to conventional haemostasis, a reduction was observed in the duration of surgery in the HF group, and the amount of blood loss was reduced by 29%, and 46%, respectively.
How does Ethicon harmonic work?
Ethicon first introduced the world to HARMONIC ultrasonic technology and its precise dissection capability in 1998 with the release of the HARMONIC® Scalpel Shears. The device divides tissue by using high-frequency (55,000 Hz) ultrasonic energy transmitted between the instrument blades.
Is Harmonic Scalpel reusable?
According to the findings of this study, the two harmonic scalpels tested cannot be reused, because they cannot be easily disassembled and thus, the cleaning process is compromised.
Is harmonic scalpel bipolar?
Harmonic scalpel uses ultrasound technology to coagulate and to cut tissues. Small Jaw device uses bipolar electrical energy and pressure to form a seal and a micro blade to divide the sealed tissues.
