The tip is a hollow titanium tube that touches patient tissue. When active, the tip vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency, causing it to fragment tissue.
➀
The tip has two pre-aspiration holes
, one on either side, which help to keep the tip clear and provide better visibility at the surgical site.
➁
Threads
on the end of the tip are for attaching the tip to the connecting body of the handpiece.
The tip is sterile and single use when in a sterile tip pack or can be used up to five (5) times if it is an extended use tip (EUT).
Nosecone
The single-use nosecone attaches to the handpiece, covers the connecting body, and holds the flue in place. It is sterile in a single use tip pack
and nonsterile in an EUT pack.
Integrated O-rings
The o-rings are integrated into the nosecone. They provide stability for the nosecone and prevent fluid leaks into the connecting body.
