Tips for ultrasonic handpiece

摘要

An ultrasonic instrument has a generator of ultrasonic energy and an elongated tip whose proximal end receives the ultrasonic energy from the generator which is conveyed to the tip distal end having a distal end section with an outer surface that is non-circular with a part, such as the corner junction between two walls of a polygon, having a shape to concentrate the ultrasonic energy at the tip distal end for radiation outwardly from the tip. One form of tip distal end section has a diamond shaped cross-section that can be either transverse or at an angle to the tip longitudinal axis.
