Cordless hand-held ultrasonic cautery cutting device
First Claim
1. An ultrasonic surgical handle for receiving a powered-ultrasonic-motion-generation assembly therein and coupling an ultrasonic waveguide thereto, the handle comprising:
- a handle body having;
a first handle body portion defining a handgrip;
a second handle body portion connected to the first handle body portion and having;
a waveguide attachment dock exposed to the environment and having a first couple operable to connect the waveguide thereto; and
an aseptically sealable powered-ultrasonic-motion-generator assembly dock shaped to connect the waveguide in the attachment dock to the powered-ultrasonic-motion-generator assembly disposed within the assembly dock through the second handle body portion, wherein the powered-ultrasonic-motion-generator assembly comprises;
a driving-wave generation circuit generating an output waveform;
a cordless ultrasonic transducer operable to connect to the waveguide in the attachment dock and to dynamically produce a resonant wave along the waveguide when supplied with the output waveform to thereby ultrasonically move the waveguide; and
a self-contained power source electrically powering the driving-wave generation circuit; and
a compartment door movably connected to the second handle body portion to selectively expose the assembly dock to the environment and having;
an open position exposing the assembly dock to the environment and permitting entry and removal of the powered-ultrasonic-motion-generator assembly respectively into and from the assembly dock; and
a closed position aseptically sealing the assembly dock from the environment.

Abstract
A disposable ultrasonic surgical handle includes a disposable handle body that has a first handle body portion defining a handgrip and a second handle body portion connected to the first handle body portion, where the second handle body portion has a waveguide attachment dock exposed to the environment and having a first couple operable to connect an ultrasonic waveguide thereto and an aseptically sealable powered-ultrasonic-motion-generator assembly dock shaped to connect the ultrasonic waveguide in the attachment dock to an assembly within the assembly dock through the second handle body portion. The disposable ultrasonic surgical handle also includes a disposable compartment door movably connected to the second handle body portion to selectively expose the assembly dock to the environment, where the handle has an open position exposing the assembly dock to the environment and permitting entry and removal of the powered-ultrasonic-motion-generator assembly respectively into and from the assembly dock and a closed position aseptically sealing the assembly dock from the environment.
