Hard/soft-tissue ultrasonic surgical systems use high-frequency sound waves to precisely cut and remove bone, soft tissue, or bone cement during orthopedic procedures like joint replacements or spinal surgery. These systems are also used in dental and craniofacial surgeries for reconstructive or plastic applications, offering controlled fragmentation and aspiration of tissue debris during surgery.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, with classification varying by jurisdiction based on their intended use and risk level. They often include a generator, handpiece, and connecting cables, and may require compliance with safety standards for ultrasonic energy delivery and surgical precision. Availability depends on local medical device regulations and healthcare provider preferences.
