Insert for ultrasonic burr-drill unit

摘要

In order to select the ultrasonic wave power and amplitude range that matches an ultrasonic tip ( 130 ) for mounting on a surgical handpiece ( 120 ), the tip ( 130 ) includes a cavity ( 131 ) forming a housing for an identifier element ( 140 ). The identifier element is made of an elastic material presenting a melting temperature higher than 130° C. enabling it to withstand both vibration and sterilization temperatures. The identifier element ( 140 ) presents a color or a pattern corresponding to the ultrasonic wave power and amplitude range appropriate for use with the tip.
