The Principle of Ultrasonic Bone Scalpel

The core technology of the ultrasonic bone scalpel is based on selective tissue cutting:
High-frequency vibration mechanism: The scalpel tip vibrates at a frequency of tens of thousands of times per second (amplitude of approximately tens of micrometers), directly destroying the mineral structure of bone tissue through mechanical energy, while simultaneously generating a cavitation effect (the bursting of tiny bubbles in a liquid releasing energy), accelerating bone tissue separation.
1. Tissue recognition characteristics: Bone tissue is hard and brittle, easily "crushed" by high-frequency vibration; while soft tissues such as blood vessels and nerves are highly elastic and can deform with vibration without being severed. This characteristic allows doctors to operate safely near critical structures.
2. Real-time cooling system: The device has a built-in saline flushing function to reduce the temperature of the cutting area, avoiding the risk of thermal damage associated with traditional tools (such as chainsaws).
