Components of Assembled Handpieces
Tip
The tip, a hollow titanium tube, touches patient tissue. When active, the
tip vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency, causing it to fragment tissue.
Pre-aspiration Holes (2)
Threads
The tip has two patented pre-aspiration holes, one on either side, which
help to keep the tip clear and provide better visibility at the surgical site.
Threads on one end allow you to attach the tip to the connecting body on
the handpiece.
For more information on various tip diameters and lengths, please refer to
Appendix A, Technical Specifications, in this guide.
