CUSA Clarity System
2-2
The CUSA Clarity system is an ultrasonic surgical aspirator system that
allows a surgeon to remove tissue efficiently and selectively. It performs
three functions:
• Fragmentation: When the vibrating tip of the handpiece comes into
contact with the tissue, the cells of the tissue break apart or
"fragment".
• Irrigation: Irrigation fluid from a user-supplied saline bag or
Lactated Ringer's solution is transferred to the distal tip of the
handpiece.
• Aspiration (Suction): Draws or "aspirates" irrigation fluid, fragmented
tissue, and other material through the distal end of the surgical tip to
the user-supplied canister.
NOTE
All three functions may occur at the same time.
