Cordless hand-held ultrasonic cautery cutting device

摘要

An ultrasonic surgical assembly includes an ultrasonic transducer operable to convert a received motional voltage into a movement of a cutting blade of an ultrasonic waveguide, a motional feedback circuit connected in a parallel configuration with the transducer, a variable power source operable to apply a first voltage between a set of connection points to the parallel configuration, a voltage meter operable to determine a feedback voltage measured from the motional feedback circuit, and a voltage controller operable to vary an output of the power source based upon the measured feedback voltage, resulting in a substantially constant feedback voltage and maintaining a substantially constant rate of movement of the cutting blade across a variety of cutting loads.
