Product Overview & Description
The BoneScalpel® Ultrasonic Surgical System is an advanced ultrasonic bone-cutting instrument engineered to replace traditional rotary burs and mechanical saws in complex osteotomies and spinal decompressions. Converting electrical signals into high-frequency, non-rotational linear back-and-forth micro-motions, BoneScalpel slices through crystalline bone structures with speed and precision while leaving elastic soft tissue and critical neural/vascular structures largely unaffected.
Featuring a ultra-thin kerf, BoneScalpel minimizes bone graft material loss during cutting, allowing surgeons to preserve a higher percentage of autograft bone compared to standard power tools. Its non-rotational acoustic blade gives spine and orthopedic surgeons ultimate control in tight anatomical spaces, enabling intricate spinal decompressions and bone shaping while maintaining short operative times.
About This Item
-
Tissue-Sparing Ultrasonic Safety: Non-rotational linear blade motion selectively cuts rigid bone while sparing elastic soft tissues, dura, and vital neurovascular structures.
-
Bone Graft Preservation: Ultra-thin kerf blade design preserves a greater volume of healthy autograft bone during osteotomies compared to high-speed drills.
-
High-Power Cutting Speed: Delivers high acoustic energy to perform large, challenging bone cuts quickly without sacrificing precision or safety.
-
Enhanced Intraoperative Control: Slices smoothly through crystalline bone without the "kick" or rotational torque typical of traditional burs, providing superior control in delicate procedures.
-
Optimized for Spine & Complex Reconstruction: Enables delicate shaping of spinal decompressions, vertebral recesses, and complex joint osteotomies.
Indications & Usage
-
Primary Indication: Surgical cutting, shaping, and remodeling of bone in orthopedic, spine, maxillofacial, and general surgical procedures where delicate bone cutting in proximity to soft tissue is required.
-
Administration: Operated by qualified surgeons and trained surgical staff within sterile operating room environments in conjunction with compatible ultrasonic consoles.
Summary of Safety & Precautions
-
Contraindications: Do not use in procedures where ultrasonic bone cutting is contraindicated or in non-sterile environments.
-
Precautions: Continuous irrigation is required during activation to prevent thermal tissue injury. Ensure correct tip tightening and handpiece coupling prior to use.
