Abstract:
Disclosed is an ultrasonic surgical instrument that includes a blade end-effector having a curved geometry. The curved geometry creates a curved surface with multiple asymmetries causing multiple imbalances within the blade. Imbalance due to the asymmetries of the blade is corrected by the appropriate selection of the volume and location of material removed from a functional asymmetry.
