    Abstract: This invention relates generally to ultrasonic surgical apparatus. More particularly, this invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for generating profiled pulses of ultrasonic frequency vibratory energy at a distal surface of an ultrasonic applicator of an ultrasonic surgical instrument for application to tissues of a patient with specific relationships between a magnitude of the pulse of ultrasonic frequency vibratory energy and a duration of the pulse of ultrasonic frequency vibratory energy so that the ultrasonic applicator can be driven to vibratory amplitudes previously not achievable and a more expedient surgical effect obtained.

    Abstract: An ultrasound transducer having transducer elements arrayed in a polygonal shape on a common plane. The polygonal array of transducer elements includes a core unit consisting of a single transducer element of a polygonal shape and a plural number of frame units each consisting of a plural number of transducer elements arranged in a polygonal shape around the transducer element of the core unit. Each one of the transducer elements of the frame units are formed in the shape of a square block and electrically connected to adjacent transducer elements of the same frame unit but insulated from transducer elements of an adjacent frame unit through an insulating coat layer.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a microfabricated acoustic transducer with suppressed substrate modes. The modes are suppressed by either thinning the substrate such that a longitudinal ringing mode occurs outside of the frequency band of interest or by applying a judiciously designed damping material on the backside of the transducer substrate.

    Abstract: An ultrasound catheter is disclosed for providing substantially real-time images of small cavities. The ultrasound catheter is characterized by separate and distinct materials for backing the transducers and for carrying the electronics components. The separate materials comprise an electronics carrier meeting the requirements for holding the integrated circuit of the ultrasound device and a backing material displaying superior characteristics relating to reducing ringing and minimizing the effect of other sources of signal degradation in the transducer assembly. Also, in accordance with the present invention, a technique is described for connecting the conductor lines of the separate transducer assembly and electronics body.

    Abstract: An ultrasonic operating apparatus includes an ultrasonic vibrator, an oscillation circuit and a power amplifier which serve as a driving energy supply portion for supplying a driving energy for driving the ultrasonic vibrator. A current detector detects a driving energy supplied to the ultrasonic vibrator. A determining device determines whether or not the ultrasonic vibrator is driven normally depending on whether or not the current component of the driving energy detected by the current detector is in a predetermined range. If it is determined that the ultrasonic vibrator is not driven normally, a stop device stops a supply of the driving energy to the ultrasonic vibrator.

    Abstract: A surgical operation device comprising an ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer for generating ultrasonic vibrations, an oscillation feedback type oscillator for supplying high-frequency power to the ultrasonic transducer, a vibration transmitter connected to the ultrasonic transducer for transmitting and amplifying mechanical vibrations at an ultrasonic frequency, a suction unit and an irrigator. The ultrasonic transducer includes a bolted Langevin type transducer. The feedback circuit of the oscillation feedback type oscillator includes an oscillation voltage detector, a phase comparator, a low pass filter, a differential amplifier, and a voltage controlled oscillator. Thus, the mechanical resonant frequency can be traced in a wide range of fluctuations of a load on the vibration transmitter during vibration and vibrations can start an appropriate mechanical resonate frequency irrespective of the load status of the vibration transmitter at the start-up.

    Abstract: A power control arrangement for an ultrasonic surgical device such as a scalpel which provides power on demand in response to the continuous or periodic sensing of the loading condition (tissue contact or withdrawal) of the blade such that the device goes from a low power, idle state to a selectable high power, cutting state automatically depending on whether the scalpel is or is not in contact with tissue. A third, high power coagulation mode is manually selectable with automatic return to an idle power level when the blade is not in contact with tissue.
