Components of Assembled Handpieces
Tip
➁
The tip is a hollow titanium tube that touches patient tissue. When active,
the tip vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency, causing it to fragment tissue.
The tip has two pre-aspiration holes
➀, one on either side, which help to
keep the tip clear and provide better visibility at the surgical site.
Threads
➁ on the end of the tip are for attaching the tip to the connecting
body of the handpiece.
The tip is sterile and single use when in a sterile tip pack or can be used
up to ve (5) times if it is an extended use tip (EUT).
For more information on various tip diameters and lengths, see Tip
Specications, page A-2.
Nosecone
Integrated O-rings
The single-use nosecone attaches to the handpiece, covers the
connecting body, and holds the ue in place. It is sterile in a single use tip
pack and nonsterile in an EUT pack.
The o-rings are integrated into the nosecone. They provide stability for the
nosecone and prevent uid leaks into the connecting body.
