Ultrasound for Gentle Medical Interventions

State-of-the-art medical therapies enable gentle treatment procedures, in some cases, also on an outpatient basis. In past years, minimally-invasive procedures, e.g., using keyhole surgery, have replaced the open surgery previously commonly used to treat many diseases. Patients benefit from lower risks and a faster recovery.

These minimally-invasive treatment techniques are based on ultrasound, which is generated by piezo elements. The piezoceramic elements used in medical instruments are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. For example, the smallest piezo elements, which are less than a few millimeters, are used in catheters which, in turn, are used to gently treat cardiovascular diseases.

The following medical instruments for minimally-invasive therapy also use ultrasound generated using piezo elements:

PI is your partner for medical technology solutions for applications such as:

Ultrasound for ultrasonic scalpels, phacoemulsification or dental scalers
Focused ultrasound
Non-invasive intravascular therapies
Cardiovascular Procedures with Ultrasonic Ablation
Minimally invasive catheter solutions are used for treating cardiovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis or atrial fibrillation: Ultrasound generated with piezo elements can be used without contact in the smallest space for a gentle treatment.

Incisionless Surgery Using Ultrasonic Waves
During surgical procedures, the power of sound waves can be used to perform so-called incisionless surgeries. Piezoelectric transducers serve this purpose perfectly: Placed extracorporeal, they project an ultrasonic focus into the body.

Tissue Management With Ultrasonic Handpieces
Enabling Tissue Management With Ultrasonic Handpieces
Ultrasound-operated handpieces such as ultrasonic scalpels, scissors or scalers use acoustic waves to facilitate the processing of hard or soft tissue and are used more and more frequently in medicine, e.g. for minimally invasive surgical procedures or in dentistry.
