Ultrasonic energy is an efficient alternative to electrosurgery and the basis for an efficient surgical instrument. The device cuts and coagulates by using lower temperatures than those used by electrosurgery or lasers. No electricity goes to or through the patient.The ultrasonically activated scalpel (UAS) is characterized by its ability to cut and coagulate tissues simultaneously with relatively low heat and limited lateral thermal injury. The UAS has been used routinely in a number of general surgeries, including laparoscopic surgeries and open surgeries of the lung and liver.The basic mechanism for coagulating bleeding vessels by UAS is similar to that of electrosurgery or lasers, in that vessels are sealed and occluded with denatured protein. However, the manner in which protein is denatured is different for each modality. Electrosurgery and lasers denature protein by heating the tissues with electric current in the former and light in the latter at a very high temperature. The UAS denatures protein by transferring mechanical energy to ultrasonic high frequency vibration (25Khz - 55KHz). The vibration breaks hydrogen bonds and produces frictional heat. This frictional heat produces lower maximum temperature and slower increase in tissue temperature than the heat from electrocautery. The cutting mechanism for the UAS is also different from that observed with electrosurgery or laser surgery. UAS cuts tissues by a relatively sharp blade vibrating at 25Khz - 55Khz over a distance of up 100µm.

The market drivers for this product are the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, the rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries, and the technological advancements in UEUs.

The constraints of this product are the high cost of UEUs, the lack of skilled professionals, and the regulatory and safety issues associated with UEUs.

The future opportunities for this product are the development of new and improved UEUs with enhanced features and performance, the expansion of the market in emerging regions such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America, and the innovation of new applications and segments for UEUs.
