Piezo in surgery tools offers great advantages 

Using piezoelectric components in ultrasonic surgery tools offers numerous advantages over traditional techniques. Increased safety, visibility, precision, faster healing and more comfort for the patient are just few of the advantages which make the practices of doctors easier and less stressful.

Piezo ultrasonic surgery can be applied to a number of clinical situations including bone surgery, eye surgery, sinus elevation and extractions. 

Soft tissues unharmed  

The increased safety with which delicate surgical procedures can be performed is one of the greatest benefits of piezo ultrasonic technology; soft tissues are not harmed if touched by the tip. Hard and soft tissues are cut at different frequencies, and with the instrument’s tip vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies tuned for hard tissues, it provides a “selective cut” that enables the clinician to cut hard tissues while sparing fine anatomical structures.

This action is so precise that even a novice to the technology can remove the shell from a raw chicken egg while leaving the membrane intact.

Reduce operating voltage and keep performance

Usually, monolayer/ bulk piezoelectric components are used in ultrasonic surgery tools. These can be provided by Noliac Ceramics according to your specifications (click here).

However, these bulk components can be replaced by multilayer components which will allow a drastic reduction of the operating voltage keeping the same performance and as such reduce the electrical security requirement when operating in the human body. Multilayer components can be provided by Noliac Motion according to your specifications (click here).
