Executive Summary
Surgical Technology (UK) has developed a new slimline handpiece for use with its Selector ultrasonic surgical aspirator designed to improve performance and aid sterilisation. The new system, which operates at 24 kHz, is claimed to have a 25% higher acoustic performance, resulting in more energy applied to the tissue. The handpiece can be sterilised while fully assembled, says the company. Surgical Technology's ultrasonic aspirators are used in neurological procedures as well as general and gynaecological surgery and are distributed through parent Elekta's sales offices.
