What is a harmonious scalpel?

Harmonic scalpel is a piece of medical equipment used in surgery as a possibility for a steel scalpel. It uses ultrasonic technology to cut tissues and at the same time seals them with cutting edges. The system usually consists of a hand ultrasonic converter, generator, hand switches, foot pedal and scalpel, which serves as a cutting tool.

During the procedure, the scalpel vibrates in the range of 55,500 Hertz tissue range and the same time sealing by protein denituration. Medical procedures that can be performed using a harmonious scalpel include thyroidectomy, lung biopsy, laparoscopic cyst Decortication, tonsillectomy and gynecological cancer. Many plastic surgeons have also found that it is better to perform plastic surgery, such as facial lift, breast reduction, breast enlargement or abdomen. Can provide a greater cutting accuracy to the surgeon; Can also allow the surgeon more efficiently to cutstronger tissues. Its visibility problems can be reduced due to smaller smoke issued by the system during operation. Surgery is simplified with a fewer swaps of instruments, although a harmonious scalpel is not as easy as a bovie - a device used in electro -surgery for coagulation.

The patient who undergoes the procedure using a harmonious scalpel usually experiences smaller swelling, bleeding and bruises that usually occur when a traditional scalpel is used. Blood vessels are also sealed at a temperature lower than what requires electro -surgery and laser surgery, reducing the patient's lateral thermal tissues and burning and extreme drying of the blood vessel. This usually results in a shorter surgery and recovery period. Usually the patient may return to their normal activities earlier, thus effectively reducing its productivity and income losses that couldy result from the procedure.

The key to the success of any harmonious scalpel procedure is usually the knowledge and experience of the surgeon with it. Surgeons usually have to take the initiative to train extensively and get handled this technology. They can attend lectures and demonstrations about the use of a harmonious scalpel. Some of these teachings and the actual exposure to the harmonious scalpel are sponsored by its manufacturers.
