FREEDOM FROM CONSTRAINTS1

No Wires No Worries

We invented the cordless ultrasonic dissector, so surgeons can have more freedom of movement within their procedures and improved mobility, passing2,Ω and contributes to a safer OR.1

THE FREEDOM FROM LIMITED VISIBILITY2,†

A Tight Space is No Longer a Tight Spot

We’ve optimised work in tight spaces with a new tapered curved jaw that facilitates precise access to tissue planes2,‡‡, enables visualization of target structures2,‡‡‡ and allows controlled dissection.2

THE FREEDOM FROM INTERRUPTIONS3,††,§

The Upside of More Uptime

We’ve extended the power supply for longer procedures with a reusable battery pack that delivers 88% more capacity and easier post-procedure management due to the battery’s non-sterile nature.3,4,†††

THE FREEDOM FROM TROUBLESOME TASKS5, §§

Time for a Clean Start

We’ve modified the re-usable generator so it’s no longer essential to wash manually and is now both autowashable and autoclavable for streamlined cleaning and sterilization.§§

THE FREEDOM FROM HAND DISCOMFORT DURING USE2,§§§

A Little Comfort Goes a Long Way

We’ve redesigned the handle, so surgeons find it more comfortable to use2,§§§ throughout long procedures and comes available in four lengths to accommodate different procedural needs.
