NOTE
All three functions may occur at the same time.
CUSA Clarity System
The CUSA Clarity system is an ultrasonic surgical aspirator system that
allows a surgeon to remove tissue efciently and selectively. It performs
three functions:
• Fragmentation: When the vibrating tip of the handpiece comes into
contact with the tissue, the cells of the tissue break apart or
“fragment”.
• Irrigation: Irrigation uid from a user-supplied saline bag or
Lactated Ringer’s solution is transferred to the distal tip of the
handpiece.
• Aspiration (Suction): Draws or “aspirates” irrigation uid, fragmented
tissue, and other material through the distal end of the surgical tip to
the user-supplied canister.
