Piezosurgery Bone Dissection
State-of-the-art Ultrasonic Bone Dissection
Piezosurgery’s technology utilises micro-vibrations which allow for intricate bone dissection in confined anatomy, yielding significant benefits in various applications.
Surgeon advantages
- Selective Cut: The micro-vibrations generate an effective cutting action on mineralised tissue, reducing the risk of soft tissue damage (dura, nerves and vessels).1
- Micrometric Cut: The micro-vibrations allow perfect control of the cutting action 2, resulting in very precise, small bone incisions and minimal bone loss 3.
- Cavitation Effect: The micro-vibrations generate a cold cut causing no thermal injury to the bone, reducing the risk of bone necrosis and providing a blood-free surgical site.4
- Single-use surgical inserts: A new dissection tip guarantees a precise cut every time, resulting in a higher quality cut, and better recovery.
Patient advantages
- Bone Healing: The micro-vibrations reduce inflammatory cells on the bone and promote osteoblast production, resulting in faster bone healing.4
- Soft-Tissue Healing: Protecting the integrity of soft tissues during surgery reduces postoperative swelling and discomfort.5
The System
Piezosurgery flex
Piezosurgery flex provides control, precision and ease of use. The system comprises of a generator, a handpiece and the single-use surgical inserts.
Piezosurgery flex is the perfect way to start a new era of bone surgery.
Piezosurgery plus
Piezosurgery plus provides additional power and state-of-the-art electronics that cover a wider range of applications, allowing for a faster procedure in less delicate areas.
