Patent ID: 8372101

Claim:
An ultrasonic surgical assembly, comprising: an ultrasonic waveguide having a proximal end for receiving ultrasonic movement thereat; an ultrasonic-movement-generator assembly having: a shell; an ultrasonic-driving-wave-signal generating circuit housed within the shell; and a cordless ultrasonic transducer having a proximal end disposed within the shell and an ultrasonic-movement-producing distal end that when excited by the ultrasonic-driving-wave-signal generating circuit, dynamically produces a resonant wave along the ultrasonic waveguide; and a handle body having: a waveguide attachment dock operable to accept the waveguide therein; an assembly dock shaped to removably secure at least a portion of the ultrasonic-movement-generator assembly thereat, the assembly dock operable: to selectively removably secure at least the shell thereat; and to position the ultrasonic-movement-producing distal end of the ultrasonic transducer co-axially opposite the proximal end of the ultrasonic waveguide when the ultrasonic waveguide is disposed within the waveguide attachment dock.
