The TISSUE Select feature offers five settings from “std” (standard—least o
selective) to ++++ (most selective). The std setting selects continuous ©
power, resulting in ample reserve power. The ++++ setting selects the least 3

Standard Operation
Power is continuous. The ultrasonic generator provides ample reserve
power; more than is necessary to drive stroke amplitude under heavy
load:
* The tip fragments “softer” tissue easily.
* The tip fragments “stronger” tissue, but with more difficulty (slower,
requires more surgeon pressure).
